Organic food is also bioengineered… Anything that uses selective breeding falls under the category of bioengineered.
Literally every vegetable and fruit we have has been bioengineered, and basically only don’t get the federally required label because of a loop hole since the bioengineered label and genetic engineering labels have weird quirks on the legal side.
But there’s no such thing as a non engineered plant grown in the usa, all available seeds are from engineered plants. Unless you can time travel a few hundred years into the past and obtain seeds from before modern techniques started getting used you can’t obtain “clean” seeds.
Even just grafting a plant is enough to mutate its DNA and thus making it classed as gmo. And if not for legal exemptions all fruit and veggies would carry the gmo label.
It’s only thanks to lobbying that stopped them from doing so. So unless you want to use legal definition instead of actual common sense definitions. Everything’s bioengineered or genetically engineered.
