What are the common genetically modified foods?

1. Tomatoes: I believe that many people like to eat tomatoes, and it is precisely because most people around the world like this vegetable that scientists have studied tomatoes more deeply, and it is found that the genes of tomatoes are relatively easy to transfer. therefore, the tomatoes eaten today are also slowly becoming genetically modified, and there is even a tendency to start commercial production. It is worth mentioning that although transgenic production of tomato has been approved in China, it has not yet begun large-scale commercial production.

2. Sweet peppers: approved by the Ministry of Agriculture in 1998, genetically modified colored peppers were allowed to be planted commercially, but genetically modified colored peppers do not seem to have received much welcome from the public in our country, and today they basically do not produce genetically modified colored peppers. However, it does not rule out the possibility that some businesses secretly plant genetically modified colored peppers in violation of government regulations.

3. Corn: genetically modified corn has been allowed to be imported into the United States in China, especially on January 7, 2015, an agricultural university developed genetically modified corn varieties in addition to insect-resistant rice, and also won a prize.

4. Rapeseed: we all know that rapeseed can be used to produce oil, so many people who study agriculture will focus on it. Now genetically modified rapeseed is still controversial in governments of various countries. In the final analysis, we are still worried about toxicity and allergy. Although the planting of genetically modified rapeseed has not yet begun to be promoted in our country, genetically modified rapeseed is imported.

5. Soybeans: when we go to buy cooking oil, we often find that some cooking oil will be marked with "genetically modified soybeans". In fact, genetically modified soybeans have begun to enter the Chinese market on a large scale, and they are mainly used for the processing of edible oil. as for whether GM soybeans are sold on the market or not, it is not clear whether they are selling GM soybeans on the market, so if you do not want to eat GM cooking oil, it is recommended to read the product label clearly before buying.
