Something which has been altered through genetic engineering

The agricultural products of genetic engineering technology, for example, the introduction, enhancement, or deletion of particular characteristics in an organism by altering its DNA (genetic makeup). Examples of such modified foods or foods that will likely be modified in the near future include: apples, canola, corn, grapevines, lentils, lettuce, maize, papaya, peas, pineapples, potatoes, soy beans, sugarcane, tomatoes, and wheat.

Commonly used as a synonym for "genetically engineered." Abbreviated as GM. Plant breeders point out that traditional selection methods also modify the genetic material, but the current use of GM implies that recombinant DNA technology has been used.
