Explanation:

Transgenic foods are those that have been produced from an organism modified by genetic engineering and to which genes from another organism have been incorporated to produce the desired characteristics. At present, foods from transgenic plants, such as corn or soybeans, are more prevalent. Organic food is a term that defines foods intended for consumption that have been produced without chemical products and processed without additives (meats, agricultural products, wines and beverages). Organic or biological foods aim to contribute not only to a more natural and nutritious diet but also to a production that is more in line with the environment, less polluting and that respects biodiversity.
