  Food products that previously carried “GMO” labels (Genetically Modified Organism) are increasingly being labeled as “biofortified” or “nutritionally enhanced.”

  This includes crops altered through genetic engineering to:

  Increase vitamins or minerals (like iron, zinc, or vitamin A)

  Improve shelf life

  Resist pests or drought

  💡 Why the Shift in Language?

  “GMO” has become a red flag for many consumers concerned about health, safety, or transparency.

  “Biofortified” sounds beneficial—like it’s been fortified for your health, which can reduce consumer hesitation.

  It reframes genetic engineering as a nutrition upgrade, not a corporate-driven science experiment.

  A reminder: always read the labels, and double check those terms that sound healthy!
