There are too many things being said in the news and online about GMOs. Biotechnology.
Hybrids. Food. Consumers have questions about these.
How long have GMOs been on the market?
It is important to note that only eight crops are currently available as GM varieties in the United States: alfalfa, canola, cotton, corn, papaya, soybean, some squash and sugar beets. Also, people sometimes reference GM wheat, but there is no GM wheat in production in the United States. Here is a table outlining what year these crops became available commercially:
Squash Upjohn (now Seminis) 1995
Cotton Monsanto 1996
Soybean Monsanto 1995
Corn Ciba Seeds 1996
Papaya Cornell University/University of Hawaii 1997
Alfalfa Monsanto and Forage Genetics 2006
Sugar beets Monsanto and KWS SAAT AG 2006
