Caption: Genetic modification of tomatoes. Conceptual image of slices of tomatoes in petri dishes. Genetic modification involves the alteration of an organism's genetic make-up. This is done to provide it with useful traits, such as frost resistance or a lengthened spoilage time. Some foods can also be enriched with vitamins, for instance to supplement a population's diet.
