How many food companies use genetically modified organisms in their products?
Nearly every company uses "genetically modified organisms" in their products, because nearly everything we raise for food today has been bred so that it's quite different from its wild ancestors ... its genetics have been modified.
Does Philadelphia Cream Cheese contain genetically modified organisms?
The only organisms in cheese are the (mostly semiwild) bacteria that turned it from milk to cheese, so probably not.
Are genetically modified organisms inorganic?
Gneteicall modifies organisms are not chemical compunds and so do not belong in either the organic or inorganic categories
Does ge netic engineering spread?
If what you meen is if I genetically engineer an organism can it reproduce the new code information the answer is yes ie humans have genetically engineered some bacteria to clean up oil spill but they don't want to have to make all five billion monera over and over again so the genetically modified organisms with parts in their body that are modified at a level of DNA will "spread" the gene and reproduce
Do genetically modified organisms make it easier to grow food?
It is known that weeds have become resistant to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Round-up. It is also possible that insects are becoming resistant to the Bt varieties of GMO crops, and that non-targeted insects may also be affected. It is also known that GMO crops have cross pollinated with non-GMO and organic crops. There are other questions that simply have not yet been answered and may not be known yet.
Why are farmers using genetically modified organisms?
They are genetically modified to taste better.

When did genetically modifying foods begin?
The first genetically modified food began in 1994. Scientist genetically modified a tomato which didn't ripen so quickly after it was picked.

Why are potoatoes genetically modified?
So that companies that make pesticides can make money.
What is genetic modified foods?
Genetically modified food can also be achieved by altering their DNA (or genes) by genetic engineering techniques. This usually involves inserting a gene into the organisms' DNA to create a certain trait. For example, some corn crops have been genetically modified so that they become more resistant to herbicides and insect pests. In most countries Genetically Modified foods (GM) as well as foods containing GM source foods have to be labelled by law, giving consumers the choice to use them or not. Agriculturally speaking the opposite of GM foods are "Organic" crops.
Why is genetically modified food cheap?
Genetically modified food is so cheap because the processes used in growing it is supposedly "faster, better, and cheaper." Most soybeans, which are in most of the foods we consume, are genetically modified and nobody really knows. Companies just want to grow more for cheap then sell more at a cheap price.
What are genetically modified tomatoes?
genetically modified tomatoes are exactly what the name implies i.e tomatoes which have been genetically modified. if you want to know what genetic modification is you should not have said your question is different then "what is a genetically modified organism" to my knowledge there are no commercial varieties of genetically modified tomatoes available right now but i know they are working on: roundup ready tomatoes, brackish water tomatoes and varies disease immunities.
Why should all genetically engineered foods be labeled?
All genetically modified should be labeled so consumers can make their own decision as to whether or not to purchase them.
What foods are genatically modified?
Food that are known to have been genetically modified are corn, soy, canola, rice, wheat, apples, papayas, tomatoes, potatoes, crookneck squash, and possibly other foods. More and more foods are being genetically modified, so this list will grow as time goes on.
