Original Note:
The claim that bioengineered foods are unsafe or newly introduced is false. BE foods have been part of the food supply for decades and have undergone safety testing. Labeling requirements provide consumers with info but do not imply any change in the safety: https://www.nongmoproject.org/blog/what-is-bioengineered-food/ https://www.britannica.com/story/when-were-the-first-gmos-developed https://www.fda.gov/media/135280/download#:~:text=Yes.,differently%20than%20non%2DGMO%20foods. https://www.science.org/content/article/once-again-us-expert-panel-says-genetically-engineered-crops-are-safe-eat
