Does genetically modified foods or crops have effects on human health
Foods derived from genetic modification undergo rigorous food safety assessments comprising toxicity and allergenicity tests to ensure they do not pose any additional risks as compared to their conventionally-bred counterparts in the so called substantial equivalence tests. Therefore, GMO foods approved by biosafety authorities are safe for human health. Additionally, no case of adverse health effect has ever been reported in the close to 30 years of consumption.
