    Genetically modified foods are foods produced from organisms that have had changes made to their DNA using genetic engineering techniques. These techniques allow desirable traits to be introduced or undesirable traits to be removed. Genetic engineering has led to crops with increased yields, better flavor, and resistance to diseases and herbicides. However, some argue GM foods have unknown risks and their long term effects have not been studied sufficiently. There is an ongoing debate about whether GM foods should be labeled or not.
