Genetically Modified Veggies are very common these days. "The FDA has deemed genetically modified foods safe, but they remain controversial."[1] There are several types of vegetables that have been known to be genetically modified including corn, potatoes and soybeans. The manufacturers of genetically modified vegetables have a few hoops to jump through. They do not have to label every food that is or is not genetically modified. As we have described in our policy, foods derived from new plant varieties are regulated by FDA under the existing framework of the FD&C Act. Labeling, by law, is limited to identifying significant changes in a food's composition, and it must not mislead consumers. Thus, for example, if a tomato had a soybean gene introduced into it, labeling would be needed to alert consumers to the presence of the potential allergen, unless it could be demonstrated scientifically that the soybean allergen was not present. It is also possible that if the Agency concluded that labeling alone would not adequately protect consumers, FDA would object to the marketing of the product.[2]
