This Aug. 8, 2016 photo provided by the J.R. Simplot Company shows Simplot Plant Sciences’ Innate Generation 2 genetically engineered potatoes at the Michigan State University field that have that survived after being infected with late blight disease, that led to the Irish potato famine, in East Lansing, Mich. Canadian officials said three types of potatoes genetically engineered by an Idaho company to resist the pathogen that caused the famine are safe for the environment and safe to eat. The approval confirmed by Health Canada officials on Thursday, Aug. 3, 2017, means the J.R. Simplot Co. potatoes can be imported, planted and sold in Canada. (Nicolas Champouret/J.R.
