Genetically modified crops. Genetically modified crops (GM crops) are plants used in agriculture, the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering methods. In most cases, the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species.

What are genetically modified (GM) organisms and GM foods? Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can be defined as organisms (i.e. plants, animals or microorganisms) in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination.

Genetically engineered foods are just as safe as conventional foods. In the United States, labeling of genetically engineered foods is not required by the FDA. This is because there has been no significant difference found in nutrition or safety.

Are your grapes Genetically Modified (GMO)? No. We work hard to breed our grapes naturally over time and to develop innovative, sustainable farming techniques that create exceptional and amazing flavor without the use of genetic engineering. (In fact no grapes currently on the market are genetically engineered (GMO)!).

Organic food is permitted to have small traces of conventional pesticides (typically from unintentional cross-contamination), and organic farmers are permitted to use a small number of pesticides, mostly naturally derived. ... (Organic food, in general, has lower levels of pesticide residue than conventional produce.)

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can be defined as organisms (i.e. plants, animals or microorganisms) in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination. ... Foods produced from or using GM organisms are often referred to as GM foods.

That's 8 years after the Honeycrisp breed was first designated by the university. Both conventional and organic Honeycrisp apples are non-GMO. It's a natural hybrid. Speaking of organic, a plant cannot even have the USDA certified organic seal if it has a genetically modified origin.

There are currently no genetically modified commercial crops in New Zealand, and no fresh produce or meat sold that has been genetically modified. Imported food and ingredients derived from GMOs must be approved by a food safety authority and those that are approved for use must be clearly labeled on food packaging.
