Description:
The first food to be genetically modified on a large scale was the Flavr Savr tomato. This tomato was modified to give it a longer shelf life so it could survive longer in stores before going bad. The tomato did not make enough money to be worth the effort of creating it so the production was stopped.Added to timeline:
