Genetically Modified Foods Did you know that 62 countries have strict laws against genetically modified foods? 30 of those 62 have eliminated or almost completely banned genetically modified foods from their market (Partovi). All of Europe has almost completely done away with these altered forms of comestibles and requires labeling for anything with even a trace of modified content. GMOs (genetically modified organisms) are in nearly 80 percent of the United States processed foods (Lowery). These

continues to put its citizens in harm’s way. In the following paragraphs‚ recombinant bovine growth hormone‚ Atrazine‚ and the Food Safety Modernization Act will be discussed in further detail. Bovine growth hormone (BGH) is hormone which is naturally produced in the pituitary gland of cows. In the early 1980s‚ research lead to the development and paten of artificially synthesized BGH called recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH). As a result‚ dairy producing cows that are injected with rBGH
