The best choice is "Corporations point to hundreds of studies that show genetically modified foods are safe."
Wordiness can affect sentence clarity and cause confusion. Setting aside unnecessary words and phrases can strengthen a sentence. "Genetically modified" describes the food and not the corporations. The term is a necessary part of the sentence because it indicates which foods are safe.
