The latest: Monsanto's new GMO corn, intended for the frozen and/or canned corn market. This experimental corn will not be labeled, so consumers cannot know when they may be eating a GMO food that contains a toxic pesticide in every bite. Monsanto's corn is a new GMO variety that has been genetically modified for three different traits, to resist two different insects and to withstand heavy spraying with Monsanto's toxic Roundup herbicide. Because there are already varieties of other insect-resistant and Roundup-Ready varieties on the market, federal regulators are not requiring any approval process-which means NO public comment on its introduction into our food supply.
The Center for Food Safety (CFS) has teamed up with the Center for Environmental Health to urge major companies that make frozen and/or canned corn to take action to avoid Monsanto's new crop.
Good News: General Mills (Green Giant, Cascadian Farms) and Trader Joe's have already indicated that they will not use Monsanto's new GMO sweet corn in their products.
But news needs to hit Del Monte, Bird's Eye and other major food makers to reject this new GMO corn.
