Brazilian Court Orders Nestlé to Label GM Ingredients in Cookies

According to a news source, a Brazilian court has determined that Nestlé’s
strawberry-flavored Bono Cookies® contain genetically modified (GM)
soybeans at levels in excess of a 1 percent limit and that the company must
thus place a yellow triangle with a “T” in the middle along with the word
“transgenic” on its product labels. Failure to do so will apparently result in a
fine of nearly $2,500 USD per product found in the market to contravene the
order. The European Union and Japan also reportedly require GM foods to be
labeled, and California voters will vote on a GM labeling referendum this fall.
