    Genetically modified food is food derived from genetically modified organisms using techniques like genetic engineering. Common examples include crop plants modified for pest resistance, herbicide tolerance, or increased nutritional content like Golden Rice which contains beta-carotene to prevent blindness from vitamin A deficiency. GM foods can also be used to more easily store, send, and administer pharmaceuticals.

    - GM food is food derived from Genetically


    Modified Organisms (GMOs).

    - commonly, it refers to crop plants created for


    consumption,

    - using the latest molecular biology techniques.

    - also known as genetically-engineered food.


    Pest Resistance
    Herbicide tolerance
    Malnutrition
    Golden Rice
    (high beta-carotene content)
    beta-carotene: precursor of vitamin A
