What are most prominent types of genetically modified foods?

Answer 1

The most common type of genetically modified food is golden rice.

In golden rice genes for the production of proteins are inserted into the rice genome. This enables the rice to produce more proteins than the native or wild rice. As rice is the stable food in much of Asia the addition of proteins to rice helps to solve the problem of deficit proteins in the diet of many people in Asia.
