Abstract:

Numerous studies conducted over the past three decades have supported the safety of food
derived from GM crops.
• Consumers have been eating food containing GM ingredients since 1996 with no evidence of harm
demonstrated so far.
• The World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAQ), American
Medical Association (AMA), European Food Safety Association, and a broad range of other scien
fists agree that GM foods currently on the market are as safe as the non-GM foods.
