Aug 12, 2024 · 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.

Genetically modified foods (GM foods), also known as genetically engineered foods (GE foods), or bioengineered foods are foods produced from organisms that have had changes introduced into their DNA using various methods of genetic engineering.
Genetic modification prevents potatoes from bruising and browning and reduces asparagine, which enhances food safety. (Image Credit: GMO Answers) The potato is the most frequently consumed vegetable in the United States, which raises the question – are there GMO potatoes?
