This article provides information about the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food and other products. It explains that most GMOs are used to make ingredients for processed foods, animal feed, and some medicines. The article also mentions the role of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in ensuring the safety of GMO products.
Many foods and food products are made with ingredients from GMO crops, including cornstarch, soybean oil, canola oil, granulated sugar. The U.S. Department of Agriculture maintains a list of bioengineered foods available throughout the world and consumers will start seeing the “bioengineered” label on some foods due to the new National Bioengineere...
Only a few types of GMOs are grown in the United States such as soybeans (94%), cotton (96%), corn (92%) which make up large percentages of their respective crops grown; most used for animal food or making ingredients for processed foods.
Most common uses include making cooking oils and margarine (canola), feeding cattle/dairy cows (alfalfa), producing fabric materials(cotton), preventing insect damage while reducing need to spray insecticides(Bt Corn). Some were developed to resist browning after being cut or plant viruses like summer squash or papaya ringspot virus disease respect...

In 1996, just 1.7 million hectares (MHa) were planted with GM crops globally but by 2015, 179.7 million hectares of GM crops were grown, accounting for over 10% of the world’s arable land. The top GM crop grown in 2015 was soybean (92.1 MHa), followed by maize (53.6 Mha), then cotton (24 Mha) and oilseed rape (canola) (8.5 Mha) (Figure 4).
Mar 31, 2020 · To date, nearly 525 different transgenic events in 32 crops have been approved for cultivation in different parts of the world. The adoption of transgenic technology has been shown to increase crop yields, reduce pesticide and insecticide use, reduce CO 2 emissions, and decrease the cost of crop production.
Nov 15, 2022 · Genetically modified (GM) crops have increased global food, feed and fiber production by nearly 1 billion tonnes (1 tonne equals 1.10231 tons) since their introduction in 1996.
