Genetically modified food contains ingredients made from genetically modified plants or animals. The abbreviation GM is often used. Top supermarkets are to ban many genetically modified foods. GM genetically modified foods or plants have had their genetic structure changed so that they are not affected by particular diseases or harmful insects
A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using the genetic engineering techniques generally known as recombinant DNA technology. With recombinant DNA technology, DNA molecules from different sources are combined in vitro into one molecule to create a new gene. This modified DNA is then transferred into an organism causing the expression of modified or novel traits. The product is also known as an Genetically Engineered Organism or GEO
