GMOs are organisms (apart from human beings) whose genetic material has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by reproduction and/or natural recombination. EU legislation on GMOs deals with the use, deliberate release into the environment and marketing of GMOs, including genetically modified food and animal feed, based on an assessment of their risks to health and the environment.
