NEW
YORK – US consumers are less informed than they were two years
ago about genetically modified (GM) foods and their opinions
about safety remain divided, according to a survey.
A
survey by the Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology, a GM research group in Washington DC, found that 34
percent of survey respondents said they had heard “a great deal” or
“some” about GM foods, compared with 44 percent in 2001.
While the research group estimates that 70-75 percent of processed
foods in grocery stores contain GM products, 58 percent of people
polled said they did not think they had eaten GM foods.
