Introduction: “Genetically modified (GM) foods are food items that have had their DNA changed through genetic engineering.” (Mavis 2008). As the population of the world has continued to grow‚ the supply pressure of food has become more and more significant. With the development of Genetically Modified biotechnology‚ GM Foods have been come into our daily lives. Though GM foods can help to improve the quality of life‚ there are risks to complete trust in GM foods. What’s more important‚ a part of

GM salmon‚ on the other hand‚ not only will grow faster but also should reach about twice the size of its wild cousin. The creators of the GM salmon‚ a private company called AquaBounty‚ promises to harvest the salmon before it reaches its full size‚ thus preventing "giant" versions [source: Discover Magazine].

As for human health‚ the concerns for safety‚ allergenicity‚ toxicity‚ carcinogenicity‚ and altered nutritional quality of food are controversial.
