In 2009 the government of Mexico created a regulatory pathway for genetically modified maize, [85] but because Mexico is the center of diversity for maize, gene flow could affect a large fraction of the world's maize strains. [86] [87] A 2001 report in Nature presented evidence that Bt maize was cross-breeding with unmodified maize in Mexico. [88]
To prevent the genetically modified fish inadvertently breeding with wild salmon, all the fish raised for food are females, triploid, and 99% are reproductively sterile. [ 33 ] [ 30 ] The fish are raised in a facility in Panama with physical barriers and geographical containment such as river and ocean temperatures too high to support salmon ...
The best way to avoid pesticides, if that’s a health concern, is to go with organic food, as unlike organic foods, conventional, non-GMO foods are still likely exposed to pesticides.

Getty Images About 20 years ago, a company now owned by Monsanto (MON) introduced the Flavr Savr tomato -- the first genetically modified organism approved for consumption in the United States.
MON 832 is an herbicide tolerant maize under license from Monsanto. MON 863 is an Insect Resistant maize under license from Monsanto. [7] MON-8746Ø-4 (MON87460) is a water use efficient maize under license from Monsanto produced for human consumption and livestock feed. [8]
On January 9, 2014, Maine’s governor signed a bill requiring labeling for foods made with GMO's, with a similar triggering mechanism as Connecticut's bill. [29] In May 2014 Vermont passed a law requiring labeling of food containing ingredients derived from genetically modified organisms. [30] [31] A federal judge ruled Maui's GMO ban invalid ...
Genetically modified fish are used for scientific research, as pets, and as a food source. Aquaculture is a growing industry, currently providing over half of the consumed fish worldwide. [ 101 ] Through genetic engineering, it is possible to increase growth rates, reduce food intake, remove allergenic properties, increase cold tolerance, and ...
