Genetically modified plants engineered to be toxic are considered safe for human consumption because the toxins are specifically designed to target pests and not humans. Regulatory agencies conduct thorough safety assessments to ensure that these plants are safe for consumption before they are approved for use in the food supply.

What qualities must a food have to be considered genetically modified?

In a broad sense, a plant is genetically modifiedwhenever changes to the genes in the plant occur. This could occur naturally, through hybridization, or through genetic engineering.To be considered genetically engineered, a food must have been created using genetic engineering: the process of manually changing the genetic makeup of a plant in a lab, often by extracting a gene from one species and inserting it into an related species (such as a bacteria gene being inserted into corn).The terms genetically modified and genetically engineered are often used interchangeably to refer to genetic engineering.


What are genetically modified GM organisms and GM foods?
