+ CONAGRA SUED OVER GM "100% NATURAL" COOKING OIL
Food giant ConAgra is being sued for labelling its Wesson brand cooking oil "100% natural" when it is actually made from GMOs. The complainant said the "labels are intended to evoke a natural, wholesome product" but are deceptive. The case has far-reaching impacts because the "natural" claim, which has no legal definition, is widely used, and around 70% of processed foods in the US contain GMOs.

+ POLAND DELAYS LEGALISING GM PLANTING
In the face of huge resistance on 31 July the Senate of the Polish parliament voted to pass into law the Seeds Act, which would have legalised the planting of GM seeds in Poland. But after widespread protests, the Polish President vetoed the bill.

+ GMOs TO BLAME FOR PROBLEMS IN PLANTS, ANIMALS
Scientists are seeing new, alarming patterns in plants and animals due to increased use of the herbicide Roundup, said Michael McNeill, an agronomist who owns Ag Advisory Ltd. in Algona, Iowa. McNeill cited Roundup-resistant superweeds and Roundup's tendency to make important nutrients unavailable to plants, thereby harming crops and making them vulnerable to disease. "When you spray glyphosate on a plant, it's like giving it AIDS," he said.
He said he and his colleagues are seeing a higher incidence of infertility and early-term abortion in cattle and hogs that are fed on GM crops. He adds that poultry fed on the suspect crops have been exhibiting reduced fertility rates. McNeill advises his farmer clients to rotate chemicals, or not use them at all.
The number of mainstream agricultural experts raising serious concerns over Monsanto's Roundup herbicide is growing all the time. These include Robert Kremer, a USDA microbiologist, and Don Huber, a plant pathologist and former Purdue University professor.

+ ACTIONS AGAINST TOXIC SOY IN DUTCH SUPERMARKETS
Actions against GM toxic soy have taken place at supermarkets in Amsterdam and Belgium. The actions are protesting against the greenwashing of GM soy sprayed with glyphosate herbicide, which is being imported into Europe under the Round Table on Responsible Soy initiative of WWF and GM firms including Monsanto. Leaflets were handed out to the public and non-organic meat products, eggs and dairy were stickered with "made with toxic soy" stickers.

+ PUBLIC PRESSURE HALTS GM PHARMA TRIALS IN SPAIN
In Spain, Valencia's local government revoked the permit of an Italian pharmaceutical company to experiment with GM rice engineered with human genes after protests from social, ecologist and peasant organizations. The aim of the GM trial was to obtain enzymes to treat Gaucher's disease. However, there are several treatments for this disease that are obtained through genetic engineering in confined environments.

+ UK GM WHEAT TRIAL IN PIPELINE
A new application for a GM wheat trial was announced in July 2011. The Soil Association has submitted information to the consultation highlighting how the trial is potentially risky, unnecessary and a waste of public money. The GM wheat has been engineered to repel aphids, using a technique which has already been shown to work using non GM methods.

+ UK SHOPPERS BACK GM - EXCEPT THEY DON'T!
A headline from the UK's Farmers Weekly says, "Shoppers back GM in face of rising food costs". This suggests a majority of shoppers "back GM". But when one comes to the detail of the Crop Protection Association's survey, it turns out that only around a third of shoppers think GM foods should even be allowed to be sold in the UK, unless they are given inducements. The inducements include GM foods being shown to keep prices down, be more nutritious or "proved safe for the environment". And even under those entirely hypothetical conditions, a majority (over 50%) of UK shoppers do not think GM foods should be allowed to be sold in the UK.

+ BIG GM CANOLA SPILL IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Several tonnes of GM canola have been spilled in Williams, Western Australia. A fire split the truck trailer and GM canola seed spilled along the roadway and verges. After the spill, a farmer reported seeing flocks of parrots feeding on the GM canola seed. Also, the seed is germinating on the roadside after rain. The Safe Food Foundation has retained Slater & Gordon lawyers to provide legal advice and support to local GM free grain growers who face having their crops contaminated. The Safe Food Foundation will provide free GM test kits for growers who want to test their crops.

+ MONSANTO'S GM SWEETCORN WILL BE SOLD UNBRANDED AND UNLABELLED
Monsanto will launch this fall a GM sweet corn seed for farmers to grow. The corn will then be sold in grocery stores in the US and Canada. While the sweetcorn is being hailed as a "consumer-oriented vegetable product", it has been genetically modified to contain an insecticide and to tolerate being sprayed with Roundup herbicide. Yum.
