INTRODUCTION Genetically modified foods (GM foods or biotech foods) are foods made from genetically modified organisms (GMOs)‚ specifically‚ genetically modified crops. GMOs have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are much more precise than mutagenesis (mutation breeding) where an organism is exposed to radiation or chemicals to create a non-specific but stable change. Other techniques by which humans modify food organisms include selective
