GM campaigners continue to noisily protest against GrainCorp’s decision to mix genetically modified (GM) canola with conventional canola at some sites, in spite of GrainCorp’s assurance that GM-free segregations will still be offered. Gene Ethics director Bob Phelps said there was no longer any pretence GM and non-GM segregations would be maintained. ”GM companies have lied for 20 years, that GM and non-GM canola could and would be kept separate so farmers, processors and shoppers had GM-free choice,” Mr Phelps said.
