Grading comment
After more research on the Web it seems to me that in the English-speaking world both "genetically modified" and "genetically engineered" are widely used (both have also an acronym: GM and GE) , whereas in Italian the term "geneticamente manipolato" (GM) seems to stand alone. Alternatives such as "manipolato" and "ingegnerizzato" exist, but they are much less used.
I therefore decided to use only "manipolato" and cut off a part of the sentence.
