Fast food giant Domino’s is selling ‘Frankenfood’ pizzas to customers while claiming to be ‘GM-free’ on its website.
It
has emerged that their ‘thin and crispy’ pizza bases have been made
using genetically modified soya bean oil and maize flour since February.
Waitrose
has also been selling imported American confectionery which contains GM
sugar beet and a soya derivative and Marks & Spencer has been
stocking American sauces and cookies containing GM soya and corn – even
though the firm has previously boasted about not using GM ingredients.

The
double-dealing has been identified by GM Freeze, which is campaigning
to raise awareness about how GM foods are creeping into the national
diet without the knowledge and approval of consumers.
The
group’s director, Liz O’Neill, is now demanding an investigation to see
if Domino’s has broken labelling laws – as firms using GM ingredients
are required to label their use.
