For many crops the GMO component is designed to resist biocides.
If you're interested in the topic, I'd encourage you to read about the most common GMO crops encountered by consumers, the primary biocides used on those crops, and then read in vivo studies on those biocides.
Do your own research and be discerning about the sources and data, there is an immense amount of astroturfing on the subject matter.

Of course it could all be wrong, biocides could be super healthy and amazingly great for human consumption.
