The deep concerns about the safety of genetically modified food in Europe are
not shared by Americans, an opinion poll released last week suggests.
Commissioned by the Food Information Council, a charity sponsored by the US food
industry, the poll showed that more than two-thirds of the 1002 respondents
would buy produce “enhanced through biotechnology”. But it seems most Americans
don’t realise that some of the food they are eating comes from GM crops.
Although 73 per cent had “heard something” about biotechnology, only 40 per cent
realised that GM food was on sale in supermarkets.
