- Corn. Genetically modified corn turns up in many different products in the U.S. — and corn on the cob is the least of it. This crop is used to produce many different ingredients used in processed foods and drinks, including high-fructose corn syrup and corn starch.
- Soybeans. The second largest U.S. crop after corn, GM soy is used primarily in animal feed and in soybean oil—which is widely used for processed foods and in restaurant chains.
- Cotton. Much of GM cotton is turned into cottonseed oil, which is used for frying in restaurants and in packaged foods like potato chips, oily spreads like margarine, even things like cans of smoked oysters.
- Potatoes. A new kid on the block, the very recently approved GM crop is resistant to bruising and may produce less of a cancer-causing chemical, called acrylamide, when exposed to high heat.
Jul 17, 2021 · Genetically engineered fruits have been developed with unique agronomic characteristics that are often difficult to achieve by conventional breeding, and are designed to meet the specific needs of growers and/or customers. Fruits that have been developed by genetic engineering are shown in Fig. Fig.1. 1. Some varieties were approved but not ...

This is unlikely, considering GM foods are estimated to be in nearly 70% of all products found in typical U.S. grocery stores. 80% of all corn and 92% of all soybeans grown in the U.S. are GM. GM beets will comprise over 90% of this year’s U.S. sugar beet harvest.
