Genetically Modified Organisms Testing
https://www.lifeasible.com/custom-solutions/food-and-feed/food-testing/genetically-modified-organisms-gmos-testing/Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) refer to the crops whose genetic material has been modified using genetic engineering techniques. GMOs commonly have many advantageous traits such as higher yield, stronger tolerance to drought and pests, as well as higher vitamin and mineral contents. Some GMO crops are also free of allergenic properties, making them safer for consumption. However, the unknown risks for transgenic foods are a major concern for consumers. Therefore, GMOs testing is necessary for all producers, and there are strict regulatory requirements for the production, import, and export of GMO foods (Figure 1).
