Yuck!!!
Oh, someone asked about US regulations for organic food and GMOs. GMOs are *not* allowed in any organic food in the US.

it was me who asked .........
it seems to me that with GMOs allowed everywhere in the USA and the oganic cert assoc not testing for DNA there is a high probablility any US organic produce could contain GMOs
so I will be very careful that anythng I buy is not from the USA or any country that generally allows GMOs ....... one thing is here all Organic products are labelled with country of origin
so far GMOs are not mainstream in australia ( apart from cotton ) just a few trials and the battle goes on to stop their introduction
if it happens I will only be eating home grown produce from our own saved seeds ....... I would rarther die of starvation than of being poisoned for greed
