According to a review in *Microbial Cell Factories*, advances in genetic engineering and synthetic biology have enabled the creation of genetically modified (GMO) probiotics with enhanced therapeutic potential. This technology fundamentally alters or adds new genetic material to microorganisms to achieve specific, targeted health benefits beyond those of conventional probiotics.

According to a 2015 HealthFocus International survey, 87% of global shoppers believe non-GMO foods are healthier, a perception that heavily influences purchasing decisions for products like probiotics. Navigating this decision requires understanding the key differences between genetically modified microorganisms and their traditional, non-GMO counterparts.
