Genetically modified food is food derived from plant or animal which has been modified in laboratories (Genetically Modified Organism-GMO) to develop desirable qualities. Unlike organic food, it can resist herbicides and has a higher nutritional content. Genetically modified foods have been on the market since 1994 and there is limited research on their effect on human health.
