Food survey finds GMO soy in 10th of samples

LONDON -- Very low levels of genetically modified material were found in 10 percent of samples in a survey by Britain's Food Standards Agency of soy-containing ingredients which did not have labels indicating GMO material.
The FSA said, however, that all 60 samples complied with the law, which allows for small amounts of GMO material from accidental mixing of crop varieties.
European food laws require that food derived from GMO sources should be labeled accordingly.
The samples were collected between February and April from a range of food manufacturers.
