I hate to sound stupid but what are the GM ingredients?
I'll be stupid with you.... Yeah, what are they?
GM is genetically modified. I had heard that Frito-Lay was considering
not using GM foods in their products, so I contacted them and this was
their response. Sus

Thank you for contacting Frito-Lay. We are always pleased when our
consumers
take the time to share their thoughts with us.
Now that there is a renewed interest in biotechnology by regulatory
agencies
and some consumer concern exists, we did not feel it appropriate to ask
our growers to include bt crops in what they sell us.
Just like other food companies, Frito-Lay relies on and supports the
regulatory
agencies charged with safeguarding our food supply when sourcing
ingredients
for our products. These agencies continue to report that genetically
modified
ingredients are perfectly safe.
Since we are also a large buyer of agricultural commodities, and more
than a
quarter of the North American crop is derived from biotechnology, just
like other food companies, we could have biotechnology ingredients in
our products.
Thank you for taking the time to contact Frito-Lay. We hope this
information
is helpful.
