Known GMO foods list

on Sunday, 01 August 2010. Posted in Societal debates

Here is a partial list of some of the most common genetically engineered Big Four ingredients in processed foods:

Corn: Corn flour, meal, oil, starch, gluten, and syrup

Sweeteners such as fructose, dextrose, and glucose

Modified food starch*

Soy: Soy flour, lecithin, protein, isolate, and isoflavone

Vegetable oil* and vegetable protein*

Canola: Canola oil (also called rapeseed oil)

Cotton: Cottonseed oil

*May be derived from other sources

In addition, GM sugar beet sugar recently entered the food supply. Look for organic and non-GMO sweeteners, candy and chocolate products made with 100% cane sugar, evaporated cane juice or organic sugar, to avoid GM beet sugar.

Sugar: Anything not listed as 100% cane sugar.

Fruits and Vegetables:

Very few frest fruits and vegetables for sale in the U.S. are genetically modified. Small amounts of zucchini, yellow crookneck squash, and sweet corn may be GM.

Meat, fish, eggs:

No GM fish, fowl, or livestock are yet approved for human consumption. Yet many are fed GM feeds, so look for wild rather than farmed fish for example, and 100% grass-fed animals.
