Genetically modified (GM) foods are making an appearance in farmers' fields and on grocery store shelves. While GM foods offer many agricultural and health benefits, they are not required to be labeled in the U.S. So you may be surprised by this FRONTLINE/NOVA: "Harvest of Fear" presentation, which reveals GM foods already on your plate, and others currently in development.

Whether you think genetically modified food is a panacea or a Pandora's box, one thing is clear: Biotech companies and university laboratories are cooking up new ideas for GM foods all the time. The U.S. Department of Agriculture lists 7,516 field tests on new GM foods currently underway. It remains unclear which, if any, of these foods will pass the strict series of tests that stand between the laboratories and our supermarket shelves. Nevertheless, it's fun to sneak a peak into the future. Tuck in your napkin, pick up your fork, and get a taste of the next wave of GM foods.
