* GM food *

GM foods are genetically modified food that have their DNA altered. It was first introduced into the food industries in 1990s. There are many reasons which GM foods can be used. For examples, to reduce poverty and environmental safety. We might be doing on rice flour product. GM modified rice flour product usually contains high amount of vitamin A (beta ccarotene). Although it came up in 1990s, it is still considered new to humans as there is no record of its safe use. Therefore, before using GM food, one must ensure that it is safe for human to consume. If GM food is used in a food product, the food product must be labelled that it contains GM food.
