Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genetically modified food products are considered safe if they are found not to be toxic, allergenic or have other negative physiological effects. Extensive testing is done to ensure this, including laboratory tests on animals and humans, as well as field trials to assess the environmental impact of the crops. The safety of genetically modified foods is also evaluated by independent regulatory agencies before they are approved for human consumption.
