Genetically modified corn is a newly bred agricultural product. How to create genetically modified corn based on DNA structure. Currently, there are many other types of plants that are also being researched and cultivated. Somehow genetically modified foods made their way from the farm to the table. However, many people mistakenly think this is organic food.1. The reason why genetically modified corn appeared
What is the purpose of making GM maize varieties researched and manufactured? It is possible that when editing some plant characteristics, the yield will be higher. Especially problems such as pests and diseases have been improved. At the same time, the designs of genetically modified plants tend to be more beautiful and even. The transfected transplanted fruits showed a longer life cycle than the original.Others, when conducting genetic modification, will increase the nutritional content. There are a few foods analyzed that show increased calcium and float after successful genetic modification. Therefore, there appear two groups of objects for and against the genetic modification of plant species.
Faced with the risk of food shortages, genetically modified corn or other modified plants is a solution. They give high productivity, large output will provide enough for use needs. Especially when the longevity is long, the cost of cultivation is also greatly saved. These are significant scientific achievements for people in remote mountainous areas. In particular, genetically modified sweet corn does not need to use a lot of pesticides.

2. Is genetically modified sweet corn dangerous to use?
The use of genetically modified products on the market requires several regulatory processes. The product has been approved for a new circulation license. However, these products are still a concern for causing adverse health reactions. When properties are changed, they also create interactions that are out of control.Risk of allergy when eating genetically modified sweet corn Children are subject to a high risk of developing allergic problems when using food. The rate of allergy cases in children is constantly increasing over the years. So scientists have embarked on a test to reconsider the use of genetically modified corn. However, the exact cause is still under investigation.
Genetically modified maize varieties may appear resistant to antibiotics According to the analysis of research centers in the field of biology and botany, microorganisms in genetically modified foods affect more than 2 million people every year. This is mainly due to their antibiotic-resistant properties. Every year, tens of thousands of people die from infection.
Antibiotic resistance genes in GM maize are the cause. However, that is only the beginning of speculation and exclusion. This is not really the final answer nor the root cause. Therefore, the research continues to take place and is accelerated until the results are officially published.
Possible problems with food after GMO There is some information that GM corn and herbicides pose a risk of stillbirth when tested in mice. This result is said to be viewed from a one-sided perspective that is not convincing in terms of science as well as biology. The main problem was that the amount of mice used in that experiment was too small. Most of them are sensitive to cancers. Therefore, this result is not worthy of recognition. And the objectivity that it brings is almost nonexistent.

3. Special food safety regulations on genetically modified corn
To ensure safety, genetically modified foods are required to be labeled with specific characteristics and information. In Vietnam, the departments have required to write clearly and prominently so that the Vietnamese people can easily read and see the warning. Therefore, GMO ingredients are rarely found in supermarkets because they have labels with specific characteristics.In addition, the import and export are also tightened by the government. Products must ensure all packaging procedures or they will be banned from circulation or export. This will limit the risk of harm or entry of poor quality products into the market.
Although there is no conclusion that exactly genetically modified corn is harmful to health. However, it is still advisable to be careful when using this food. At the same time, fully labeling the required requirements is a necessity. Not only Vietnam, many other countries have also introduced it and implemented it.
Currently, there are only 4 GM maize varieties recognized in Vietnam. Therefore, tightening management is extremely necessary. Any action taken from the very beginning will prevent the long-term consequences as much as possible.
