Public debate has been sparked by the importance of genetically modified organisms for ensuring food safety. A lack of knowledge about genetically modified organisms and restricted information has led to consumer resistance. It is unclear what the role of genetically modified organisms in food security and other issues remains. However, there is a chance for a breakthrough as customers begin to adopt these meals and recognize their economic importance. The contentious issues around the topic and their sustainability must be communicated to consumers. While genetically modified foods continue to generate conflicting emotions but their use in biotechnological food production have significantly reduced food insecurity, particularly for those in less developed countries.
