May 22, 2024 · Although various food and health authorities consider them safe, GMOs, like genetically modified foods, may not be completely safe, as they are associated with health risks like allergic reactions, antibiotic resistance, and toxicity.
2 days ago · Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) provide certain advantages to producers and consumers. Modified plants, for example, can at least initially help protect crops by providing resistance to a specific disease or insect, ensuring greater food production. GMOs are also important sources of medicine.

May 23, 2024 · GMO (short for “genetically modified organism”) is a plant, animal or microbe in which one or more changes have been made to the genome, typically using high-tech genetic engineering, in an attempt to alter the characteristics of an organism. Genes can be introduced, enhanced or deleted within a species, across species or even across ...
