Banned Biotech Corn Found in Taco Bell Shells

Genetically Modified Corn Not Approved for Human Consumption

The US government said Monday it was investigating a type of genetically-modified (GM) corn, approved for use in livestock, that may have turned up in some taco shell's at the popular fast-food chain Taco Bell.

(etc.)


Hysteria strikes again. If some people are allergic to the genetically modified corn, before anyone declares that "the sky is falling," let me point out that plenty of people are allergic to natural corn, and probably some of those people are NOT allergic to genetically modified stuff.

Whatever the food is, somebody somewhere is allergic to it, and an allergy to corn is not at all an uncommon one.

The corn was "not approved for human consumption," which to me means it wasn't approved YET. I seem to see some people jumping to the conclusion that it had been DISapproved for human consumption. If that is actually the case, will someone point that out?
