PART ONE.     Reading and Interpreting: Read the text carefully then do the activities.

            Developments in genetic engineering technology have led to an increase in number of food products that contain genetically modified ingredients in the worldwide markets. However, due to lack of scientific studies, the presence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in most kinds of food is currently ambiguous.  

             Foods both for humans and animals consumption are being imported from countries which are known to produce GM foods. Therefore, an attempt has been made to screen foods sold in the world markets to detect GMOs in the food. For this purpose, samples  are collected from various markets in the world have been screened. Further confirmations and GMO quantifications were performed by renowned Scientific Institutes on Food Safety. Results indicated that a significant number of food goods sold were tested positive for the presence of GMO. Interestingly, certain processed foods were tested positive for more than one transgenic events showing complex nature of GMOs in food samples that can threaten populations health.  

               To sum up, the results of this study clearly indicate the need for well-defined legislations and regulations on the selling of approved GM food and its labelling to protect consumers' safety and  their rights to be well-informed about what they really eat.
