Coming to the market soon in the USA: Genetically modified soybeans for ”health-conscious consumers”
A new type of genetically modified soybean should be on the market sometime this year in the USA. It has a higher oleic acid content than conventional soybeans, which means that when heated, it gives off fewer harmful substances. The new soybean will be launched first in a few small, regional test markets. ”This year we hope to bring to market the first product from a genetically engineered plant designed to deliver health benefits to consumers,” said Jim Borel, DuPont group vice-president, at an agricultural convention in Chicago.
