   • Corn. About 92% of corn in the US is genetically modified. GMO corn produces proteins that are toxic to certain pests, but not considered harmful to humans and livestock.
   • Soybeans. Soybeans are typically genetically modified to become herbicide-tolerant, drought-tolerant, or insect-resistant. About 94% of soybeans are GMOs, but most of the crop is used in animal feed, says Muszalski.
   • Summer squash. Genetically modified summer squash is resistant to a particular virus called zucchini yellow mosaic, which can cause severe deformations, blisters, and stunt growth of the crop.
   • Canola. About 95% of canola that's planted is genetically modified. This crop, which is used to make canola oil by crushing the seeds, is typically modified to resist herbicides and limit the weeds where it is grown, says Muszalski.
