Since non-GMO foods have been consumed over many lifetimes of consumption, their safety or lack thereof has been pretty well established.
We're constantly hybridizing and producing all manner of crazy new plants where God knows how many genes are combined in totally new ways. There are tons of hybrids we're eating right now that have nowhere near "many lifetimes" worth of consumption, and there's no good reason to think that we'll do a better job of predicting all of their subtle properties (especially "long term" safety) any better than if we take a known organism and add one carefully selected gene to it.
