    GMOs have been part of the U.S. food supply since the 1990s. Common GMO crops include soybeans, corn, cotton, canola, sugar beets, and alfalfa. While some fresh fruits and vegetables like apples, summer squash, and papaya may be genetically modified, most GMOs are found in packaged foods as ingredients made from corn, soybeans, and other crops. The FDA requires certain bioengineered foods to disclose that they contain genetic material modified in a lab.
