The Grocery Manufacturers of America estimated in 2003 that 70–75% of all processed foods in the U.S. contained a GM ingredient. [ 239 ] As of 2024, the cultivation of genetically engineered crops is banned in 38 countries, while 9 countries have banned their import. [ 240 ]
In the U.S., the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard (Mandatory Compliance Date: January 1, 2022) requires labeling GM foods. [333] In Canada, labeling of GM food is voluntary, [334] while in Europe all food (including processed food) or feed which contains greater than 0.9% of approved GMOs must be labeled. [335]
"The World Health Organization, the American Medical Association, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the British Royal Society, and every other respected organization that has examined the evidence has come to the same conclusion: consuming foods containing ingredients derived from GM crops is no riskier than consuming the same foods ...
Genetically modified rice are rice strains that have been genetically modified (also called genetic engineering).Rice plants have been modified to increase micronutrients such as vitamin A, accelerate photosynthesis, tolerate herbicides, resist pests, increase grain size, generate nutrients, flavors or produce human proteins.
