Therefore, it is necessary to provide reliable information about modified organisms, as well as the positive and negative effects of introducing them to use. Objective. The objective of the study was evaluation of the level of knowledge among young people about the genetic modification of organisms and genetically modified foods. Materials and methods. The survey was conducted on a sample of 500 students completing high school in the Lublin Region. The research tool was a questionnaire. The collected material was subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS. The test compound was based on the use of Chi2 test, assuming the significance level of p <0.05. Results. Analysis of the research material indicated that adolescents completing secondary schools are generally familiar with the issue of genetic modification of organisms and genetically modified food. However, the level of detailed knowledge is low and needs to be expanded. Conclusions. Research carried out among young people graduating from secondary schools is not merely cognitive, but also may be important in applications, because it is necessary to obtain information on the current level of knowledge of the issues related to GMOs in order to impart reliable knowledge on the subject.
