Abstract
The involvement of genetically modified food stuffs among the non-genetically modified food items have put people feel uneasy about this. The controversy of genetic engineering is for crops. Humans worry about the expansion of the engineering genes into the habitat because they think that as the new gene is inserted into it, may cause some allergy. Whereas genetically modified foods have the possibilities to solve numerous of the problems. Particular gene is shifted in the plants to increase their agronomy. GM crops are resistance to abiotic stresses like herbicides, also they are engineered to give rise to resistant to insects, viruses etc. Genetically modified plants were put to the test to be eaten in multiple organizations and after so many studies the science got involved. So, here I am informing that consuming genetically engineered crops or foods is no more risky. It is as friendly as the non-genetically engineered foods.
