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...
