GMO corn
Transgenic crop kernels
GMO corn is corn that has been genetically modified in a laboratory, typically to resist pests or tolerate herbicides.
It dominates commercial agriculture in the United States, where most field corn is genetically engineered.
The term often appears in debates about food safety, labeling, and environmental impact: Is this product made with GMO corn?
