Is it true that approved genetically modified foods cause allergies in the people who eat them?
Unclear. The retrieved items offer only partial, indirect coverage: a skeptics-community answer and a review report that approved GM foods are generally considered safe, and a reference list noting one documented allergen-transfer case in transgenic soybeans. None directly tests whether approved GM foods cause allergies in the people who eat them.
