In the 1990s, when genetically modified organisms were first introduced, a label was not required for a food product containing GMOs. It was thought that the first GMO samples did not differ from other foods at a level that would require special labeling in terms of nutrition and food safety.

But in later years, people advocated knowing more about the ingredients of such foodstuffs. Thereupon, a bill was passed by the US Congress in 2016. This legislation has set a standard for the labeling of foods produced with genetically modified organisms. According to the law, food producing companies are obliged to inform consumers if their products contain GMOs or GMO compounds.

When planting crops, farmers are often concerned about three things that prevent good yields: insects, weeds and weather. Most GMO crops grown worldwide today have been developed to overcome problems caused by insects or weeds. However, some GMOs are currently being explored as solutions for improved nutrition.

In the case of insects, there are genetically modified plants that drive away only the insect that feeds on them. In some crops, this practice has significantly reduced the need for pesticide application. Other genetically modified plants have been developed to resist certain herbicides. In this way, weed control has become easier and more economical.

Farmers and agricultural companies benefit most from genetically modified crops as practiced today. If the nutritional properties of plants are improved in this way in the future, then consumers will benefit. There are also benefits for producers today, such as lower costs, less soil erosion and less pesticide application.

The use of GMO technology is not limited to plants only. GMOs are also used to produce many drugs and vaccines to treat or prevent diseases. GMO drugs are more consistent and the risk of contamination is high.does not think.

Our organization acts with a sense of responsibility in order to be with people who consciously care about their health and to help them choose the foodstuffs they will need, and tries to support manufacturers to prove their efforts in this direction.
