Organic foods are supposed to be
safe for consumption. They, unlike GMOs, do not usher any disease into human
life. Organic foods are recognizable with a stamp placed on the packets which
clearly mentions that the foods are organic in nature. But there is an
increasing concern about the authenticity of organic foods due to the
escalating cultivation and prevalence of GMOs. Those foods that are cultivated
naturally without the help of pesticides and other chemicals are termed as
organic foods. But under the current scenario, there is always a possibility of
organic foods getting contaminated with GMOs though they are not directly
cultivated with GMOs.

The U.S.Food and Drug Administration is being led by former top officials of big biotech
companies, so there is little hope that they will take the necessary steps to
stop the influence of GMOs on organic foods. Natural News reports that organic foods are classified into
three types depending on the amount of organic ingredients present in the
foods. The foods that have 70 percent or 90 percent of organic ingredients are
complemented with 30 percent and five percent of GMOs respectively. So, there
is a considerable presence of GMOs in those organic foods that are largely
supposed to be safe. However, there are also 100 percent organic foods
available on the market.
Natural News reports that organic foods can get infected with
GMOs through cross pollination by bees and other insects that can carry
GMO-laden pollen from chemically cultivated plants to organic plants even if
they are several miles apart. The contamination of organic foods with GMOs is
leading to an uncertain future. It is to be kept in mind that consumption of
GMOs means paving the way for cancer and other deadly diseases. So, people have
to be utterly aware of what they are consuming before it is too late.
