The so-called genetically modified food is to transfer one or several exogenous genes into a specific organism through genetic engineering technology, and make it effectively express the corresponding product (polypeptide or protein ), this process is called genetic modification. Foods produced using genetically modified organisms as raw materials are genetically modified foods.

According to the different sources of genetically modified foods, they can be divided into plant-based genetically modified foods, animal-based genetically modified foods and microbial genetically modified foods.

In 1996, my country successively approved the genetically modified storage-stable "Huafan No. 1" tomato, the genetically modified cucumber mosaic virus-resistant tomato "8805R" and the sweet pepper "Shuangfeng R" to enter industrial production. Vegetables that have been subjected to genetically modified research include tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, potatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, watermelons, melons, zucchini, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, lettuce, spinach, fennel, peas, cabbage, mustard greens, onions, Chinese cabbage etc. The improved traits include disease resistance, insect resistance, herbicide resistance, stress resistance, quality improvement, bioengineering, etc. Genetically modified plants are entering human life with an unstoppable trend.
