What is genetically modified food? How to distinguish

The so-called genetically modified (GM) food is the process of transferring one or more exogenous genes to a particular organism through genetic engineering technology and making it effectively express the corresponding product (peptide or protein), which is called genetic modification.

Foods processed and produced from genetically modified organisms are genetically modified foods. Depending on the source of the genetically modified food, it can be categorized as plant-based genetically modified food, animal-based genetically modified food and microbial genetically modified food.

Distinction: season. Except for greenhouse vegetables, most of the other anti-seasonal foods are genetically modified. Color. Those that are different from the traditional ones are definitely genetically modified, such as colored cotton and colored peppers.

Extended information:

Actually, genetically engineered products can be found everywhere, and have long since been integrated into people's daily life. We are consciously or unconsciously exposed to GM products, using GM products, and enjoying the benefits that GM products bring to people.

Genetically modified (GM) technology is far from being limited to agriculture; it has long been used on a large scale in the production of medicines, food, industry, environmental remediation, and fuel production.

In our neighborhood, a large number of foods, medicines, and industrial materials actually use GM technology, and many beers and cheeses around the world are processed with genetically modified yeast, while most insulin and other genetically engineered drugs use recombinant technology to introduce exogenous genes into microbial output.
