Though it barely received any media attention at the time, a renowned British biochemist who back in 1998 exposed the shocking truth about how genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) cause organ damage, reproductive failure, digestive dysfunction, impaired immunity, and cancer, among many other conditions, was immediately fired from his job, and the team of researchers who assisted him dismissed from their post within 24 hours from the time when the findings went public.

The man in question is a scientist. His work is peer reviewed. His job is to work out the facts. If his work is to be challenged it should be done on a scientific level. Not by government officials or their industrial counterparts, who do not have the ability to challenge him on a scientific level.
A 4 digit number means it was conventionally grown (using chemicals).
A 5 digit number beginning with a 9 means it was grown organically.
A 5 digit number beginning with an 8 means it was genetically modified

Long story short, x-scientists say GMOs are safe; y-scientists say they are not safe.
Both have reports, studies, research.
Its a standoff, and at the same time a standstill.
Testing of whole (genetically modified) foods in laboratory animals has its problems. The specificity and sensitivity of the normally applied methods is usually poor. There is a need for improvement of the test methodology using in vivo and in vitro models. Moreover, there is a need for standardIization and harmonization of methods to test the long-term safety of whole foods.
