Who made the genetically modified food, for the first time?

Farmers and growers have been changing the genetic make up of our food for centuries. The first genetically modified food produced by genetic engineering and approved for sale was the Flavr Savr tomato, produced by Calgene, a US company. A modified firmer allowing it to be picked later without its being too soft to transport. This meant it had more flavour.
