FDA scientists, on the other hand, warned that GMOs can create unpredictable, hard-to-detect side effects, including allergies, toxins, new diseases, and nutritional problems. They urged long term safety studies, but were ignored.[1] The FDA does not require any safety evaluations for GMOs.hese crops have much higher residues of toxic herbicides. About 68% of GM crops are herbicide tolerant. The second GM trait is a built-in pesticide.
