Call for comment on food made from an insect-protected GM soybean line
Call for comment on food made from an insect-protected GM soybean line Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is calling for comment on an application to permit the sale and use of food derived from a new genetically modified (GM) soybean line.
