Investigation reveals that imported soya beans were genetically modified

Investigations carried out by the Social Institute of Ecology (SIE) have concluded that soya beans sold in Polish supermarkets by Czech company Sante have been genetically modified, in contravention of Polish law, which states that genetically modified products must be marked as such, and must have the permission of the Environment Ministry if they are to be sold in Poland. According to Elzbieta Priwieziencew from the SIE, Poland may be a target for companies producing genetically modified food, since customers in Western Europe generally reject it.
