Are there GMOs in your fruit?
- Two labels that indicate a product has no GMOs. Foods that carry the United States Department of Agriculture's 100 percent organic seal usually don't contain GMO ingredients, but the agency does not test products to verify this.
- Corn and soy are the major GMO crops in the U.S. According to our 2014 tests, a food had GMOs if a corn- or soy-containing product in it was not organic and did not carry the Non-GMO Project Verified seal or another non-GMO claim.
- Sugar can be GMO. Much of the sugar in America's sugar bowls and processed foods—not only baked goods, soda, and sweets, but also foods such as bread, cereal, soups, and yogurt—come from sugar beets and 99 percent of that crop is genetically modified.
- GMOs can surprise you. Canola, corn, and soy are in a lot of foods. So are ingredients derived from them, such as baking powder, beta carotene, cellulose, citric acid, corn starch, lactic acid, lecithin, riboflavin, miso, soybean oil, soy protein, soy sauce, vitamin E (tocopherol), and xanthan gum.
How To Identify GMOs In Your Food. By. Michelle Larson. - GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms,” include any plant or animal that the DNA has genetically altered from another plant, animal, bacteria, or virus through artificial engineering, which produces an organism that does not occur in nature outside of human influence.

Sometimes, the benefits created by GMOs are simply to allow your food to last longer. “A recent example of a GMO crop that provides a consumer benefit is the Arctic Apple, which is genetically modified to prevent the browning of the apple once sliced,” says Vogliano. Another example: the Simplot Innate potato. “It’s bioengineered to form 58 to 72 p...
“The term ‘GMO’ can sound scary when you first hear about it,” says Vogliano. “However, consumers should feel confident that GMOs on the market are safe to consume and to date have not been linked with any adverse health effects,” he says. “One point I hear often is that GMO wheat is causing the rise of wheat sensitivities. However, this is not tru...

“Looking toward the future, newer technology known as CRISPR will most likely take the place of transgenic GMOs,” says Vogliano. This is a type of gene editing, the next frontier of this type of science. “Gene editing is the new kid on the block and is a more precise form of genetic modification,” says Vogliano. “It works within a species to either...
