Is it safe? Information on genetically engineered foods for consumers

Abstract

This Leader's Guide provides consumers with an introductory overview to genetically engineered (GE) foods (commonly referred to as GMOs- genetically modified organisms), as well as safety information on these products. Information on labeling of GE foods is also included. The term "genetically engineered foods"� or "GE foods" is used throughout this fact sheet as this is one of the terms that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states is scientifically accurate for these types of foods. The Guide is for those presenting this information to an audience.
