Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally, e.g. through the introduction of a gene from a different organism.
The genetically modified foods controversy is a dispute over the use of food and other goods derived from genetically modified crops and other uses of genetic engineering in food production.he products of that pure starch contain no GM DNA or protein. Starch can be further modified to create modified starch for specific purposes, including creation of many of the sugars in processed foods. They include: 1  Maltodextrin, a lightly hydrolyzed starch product used as a bland-tasting filler and thickener.
