Do gmo foods have chemicals in them?

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can involve the use of chemicals during their development, such as herbicides or pesticides applied to crops. However, the GMOs themselves are not inherently "chemical" in nature; they are modified through genetic engineering to exhibit certain traits, like pest resistance or enhanced growth. The focus is often on the safety and environmental impact of these chemicals rather than the GMOs themselves. Regulatory agencies assess both GMOs and the chemicals used with them to ensure they are safe for consumption and the environment.
