In my previous blot post I listed the "Dirty Dozen" and the "Clean 15"—fruits and vegetables that are most likely and least likely to be tainted with pesticide residue. In this blog post I list the eight foods in the United states that are commonly genetically engineered. Those eight are as follows:
- Soy
- Corn
- Cottonseed (used in vegetable cooking oils)
- Canola (canola oil)
- Sugar from sugar beets
- Hawaiian papaya
- Some varieties of zucchini
- Crookneck squash
