Homemakers United Foundation (Taiwan) wants removal of GM soybean items from schools

The Homemakers United Foundation (HUF) started a petition yesterday to demand all schools remove items made with genetically modified soybeans from their lunch menus and replace them with options made with food-grade soybean. The HUF urged parents to write letters to schools requesting the removal of GM soybeans from school lunches to avoid putting students at risk of the potential problems resulting from consuming GM foods. According to the HUF, over 90 percent of the soybeans imported annually are GM, and many countries do not allow these to be used as an ingredient in foods for human consumption.
