This subject has attracted world wide interest and is highly controversial in most countries due to differences in opini on as to the potential risks to human health and/or the environment associated with this procedure. These organisms, which are often called recombinant DNA, genetically modified,genetically engineered, bioengineered, or biotechnology manipulated organisms, are generally referred to as GMOs (genetically modified organisms), and the food is known as genetically modified or GM food.
