It seems that the fast food giant Domino’s has been caught selling genetically modified ‘Frankenfood’ pizzas to customers while claiming to be ‘GM-free’ on its website, according to research by campaign group GM Freeze.
It has been revealed that Domino’s’ ‘thin and crispy’ pizza bases have been made using genetically modified soya bean oil and maize flour since February, despite the company’s website touting ‘GM-free.’
Similarly, Waitrose supermarket chain has been selling American sweets made with GM sugar beet and a soya derivative despite the company’s policy stating that no GM products will be used in its own-brand goods. Marks & Spencer has also been stocking American sauces and cookies containing GM soya and corn despite being ‘GMO-free.’
In response to the report, Domino’s did confirm that it has been using GMO ingredients with its thin and crispy pizza bases since the beginning of February. The change was reportedly sparked after a factory fire occurred to its usual supplier in Ireland.
The firm apologized for not updating its website, and confirmed that it hopes to return to using non-GM bases in September.

GM Freeze Director Liz O’Neill said:
“Imported American sweets are bad enough but if Domino’s are making GM pizza bases here in the UK then they really are out of step with their customers. People in the UK have demonstrated time and again that they don’t want to eat GM food and the Food Standards Agency’s public attitudes survey recently showed concern about GM at an all-time high.
Whether motivated by concern for declining wildlife and flourishing superweeds, wider ethical issues, safety or personal preference, we have a right to make an informed choice and the conflicting statements on the Domino’s website currently make that virtually impossible.
With Waitrose’s website proudly stating that ‘we intend to stay as GM free as we can for as long as we can [because it] is what our customers want’, it is hard to fathom why a retailer that trades on quality and ethics has started stocking products with GM ingredients that the manufacturer themselves has committed to phasing out. We expect more from Waitrose than America’s cast offs.”

I wonder what the cows ate that gave the milk that made the cheese? Good old usa gmo corn!!! Did a lot of good to label didn’t it.
I have a lable for you “dushbag”. That didn’t even take millions of dollars, votes, protests, or congressional bribes. Feel free to make a sticker and wear it on your forehead.
The mosquito has landed again. Just can’t keep his troll brain from preying on
innocent posters. I think Bobo has great feelings of insecurity. Since
he can’t get anyone to like him he has to derive his warped sense of
pleasure from being a parasite.
What would you know about that- aren’t you still breast feeding?
Yes very attached to my wife’s breasts!! Can’t go very long without them!! You wouldn’t know anything about that would you bisquick.
You mean your mommy’s
How’s the wife’s tool shopping coming along johnny?
At least I have a wife, Bobo
It is a shame she doesn’t have a husband, just you. Fortunately mine is satisfied at home. Now tell us what kind of government we have Johnny Bisquick.
It is a shame your mommy doesn’t kick you out of the basement. You really should learn to fend for yourself.
Built my own house and run my own company, I would say I can fend for myself rather nicely. Is your wife back from tool shopping yet? Try to figure out what type of government we have by the time she returns.
Enjoy the fantasy Bobo.
By the way what type of government do we have?
You are the one in the fantasy world johnny boy. Now you use my line? You must be very envious to do that. So I’ll tell you what johnny, why don’t you tell US what kind of a government we have.
Thanks for using my lines Bobo- they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
You should know since you use mine quite often, now tell us what type of government we have “little” johnny.
Those cows and pigs end up being infertility after third generation, from eating GMO corns and they got health issues and did died. Now, PLEASE provide 85% list of scientist that support GMO, as you mention it earlier. I’m waiting. Here is Dr. Patrick Moore who is a lobbyist for Monsatan, is a psychopath who tried to convince us that “ROUNDUP” is safe to drink, moron.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jWyrbP0TJQ and about Rockefeller who spent millions of dollars in EUGENIC program to create human depopulation plan through GMO foods. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZsazm0VCXA sorry, you already lost, dimwit.
He can’t provide any list. Maybe GMO Roberts can also proof that drinking roundup is okay.
Maybe GMO Robert should do us a favor by drink a quart of “Roundup” as much he can.
That is a really stupid statement. Organic cheese is made from Organic milk that the cows are not fed gmo corn only grass fed.
Thanks for proving you know nothing about farming. They still eat corn, bean meal etc. just the organic versions. However, the cheese that dominos uses aren’t label organic.
Not true, the beef I buy is only grass fed, no grain. Agree with dominos doesn’t use anything organic.
We were talking about dairy products and you switch to beef? You are very confused. Organic grass fed beef is a sub category of organic, but they can still be fed organic grain and labeled organic, just not grass fed organic. Secondly, dominos never said they used anything organic, just non gmo, you do realize there is a difference?
Yes I do realize there is a difference. Don’t you get it, cows (beef) produce dairy products. And if they are fed grain, yes it has to be organic. And yes Domino’s is “suppose” to be using GM free dairy.
” Don’t you get it”
No Bobo’s not apt to get it until he finds that cow that kicked him in the head. Then he can kicked a second time so as to straighten out his warped mind.
I have to ask you, why does he keep asking “what kind of government we have”?
Different breeds and fed very differently. The beef breeds don’t have the ability to give much milk, that is why holsteins are the main dairy breed. When sold as beef it is discounted because it is not the quality of the beef breeds.
Yes a Holsteins is different then a steer bred for meat. A milking cow only is sold when she can no longer produce milk, crappy life. Also farm raised Holstein’s that are free range and fed only organic, can be certified as USDA organic. Factory farm cows live in horrible conditions and I wouldn’t drink that milk for nothing.
” You are very confused”
Now Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black!
Come on johnny bisquick tell us what kind of government we have.
“Thanks for proving you know nothing about farming”
Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black!…pot head
Whats a matter johnny? nothing better to do today with you wife out enjoying tool shopping?
the board is seeking translation please
Only you are waiting, for your wife to come home from tool shopping that is. Now be a good boy “little” johnny and tell us what kind of government we have.
Nope wrong as usual- translation please. I know you can do it. After all you do have your grade 12 ( 6 years in grade 2).
Johnny even with my college degree I still can’t translate to your alien idiot so you can understand what the rest of us already know. However you could explain what type of government we have “little” Johnny bisquick.
Someone told me you spend 5 years in GMO U but then your mommy refused to pay anymore of your tuition.
What do you get by lying? Everyone knows it already “little” Johnny so just tell us what kind of government we have.
Genetically modified soy affects posterity: Results of Russian scientists’ studies
On October 10, during the symposium over genetic modification, organized by the National Association for Genetic Security (NAGS), Doctor of Biology Irina Ermakova made public the results of the research led by her at the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS). This is the first research that determined clear dependence between eating genetically modified soy and the posterity of living creatures.
During the experiment, doctor Ermakova added GM soy flour to the food of female rats two weeks before conception, during conception and nursing. In the control group were the rat females that were not added anything to their food. The experiment was formed by 3 groups of 3 female rats in each: the first one was control group, the second one was the group with GM-soy addition, and the third one with traditional soy addition. The scientists counted the number of female species to give birth and the number of born and died rats.
After the result of the first stage, the second part took place. Now the rats were divided into two groups – one with GM-soy addition in their food, and other without the GM-soy. In three weeks the scientists received following results:
Additions F that gave birth Born rats Dead rats (in 3 weeks) % of dead rats Rats still alive
Control group 4 (of 6) 44 3 6,8% 41
With GM-soy 4 (of 6) 45 25 55,6% 20
With normal soy 3 (of 3) 33 3 9% 30
Let’s see here johnny you have three groups of three that’s nine all females. Your totals come up to fifteen again they don’t add up johnny. Secondly, if you claim they gave birth how? They were all females? If you claim some were pregnant to start then the test is invalid because you didn’t start with simular animals. Lastly, billions are eating gmos everyday with no negative effects, and you wish to point to only NINE rats? They should have had hundreds at a minimum and more than three groups. While you try to figure out what type of government we have, maybe you could figure out what makes a good experiment.
That’s why you need to study statistics Bobo. Take a course some time and we can discuss it on the same level. Your level of understanding is sadly lacking.
By the way how is your Mommy – did she cut you some slack again on the rent money?
Took one in college John Boy and the odds are in favor of you being an idiot. Matter of a fact it is close to 100%. Now quit worrying about your wife being out tool shopping and tell us what kind of government do we have Johnny Bisquick?
Still couldn’t figure it out Bobo? Keep on trying. You’ll get it right one of these years. By the way what type of government do we have?
I already explained it to you, but you still don’t get it. No what type of government do we have johnny bisquick?
Sorry wrong again.
Prove it while you tell us what kind of government we have Johnny bisquick.
Sorry still wrong Bobo – try again
Glad to know and I’m not really surprised, but they have horrible pizza anyway.
I would love for someone to explain to me what the difference is between sugar from GM sugar beets and non-GM sugar beets. Any takers?
If you have to ask you deserve cancer and diabetes before 50..
Bradley, are you familiar with comedian Bill Engvall’s Here’s Your Sign bit?
Thanks for displaying your sign 🙂

You just answered your own question. You can choose to eat GMO sugar or non GMO sugar, dah.
But how can you tell if you’re eating one or the other?
Organic will be labeled USDA certified.
Sue, I’m not talking about a label. I’m talking about the sugar itself. If you were to examine it in a lab, how could you tell the difference? What I’m trying to get at is, what is the difference that you believe creates the need for a label?
You wouldn’t be able to tell the difference in a lab, unless there is a test and I don’t know about that. The need for a label is let you make the decision to make your own choice to buy GMO or non-GMO. That is the whole point on labeling, having a choice to eat what you want to put in your body. That’s all were asking, just label it, what’s to hide?
Sucrose from GM sugar beet and sucrose from non-GM sugar beet is still just sucrose. We’re talking about a refined product. If we can’t distinguish the two in a lab, doesn’t that mean there is no difference? So why should we label two things as being different if they are not different? I don’t understand that. For example, if you were buying some gummy candies (maybe you don’t eat this sort of thing, but please humor me), what difference does it make if the sucrose used in the candies came from GM or non-GM sugar beet if there is not difference?
I don’t see it as a question of ‘what’s to hide?’. It’s a question of ‘what’s to show?’
” If we can’t distinguish the two in a lab, doesn’t that mean there is no difference?”
This statement verifies your lack of understanding of empirical science
So does that mean you can tell me what the difference is?
So does that mean you don’t really know why you are asking
Ok, if you don’t buy organic sugar you are eating a gmo sugar. 90% of sugar beets are gmo’s. I buy organic gummy bears for my grandson. If just have to make a decision to go organic or you don’t worry about the gmo’s that you are eating.
There are 3 tests they can run to determine if there is GMO’s. Genetic Analysis (DNA analysis), Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR test) and Immuno-Analysis (protein analysis).
Ok. But what’s wrong with sugar from GM sugar beets?
OK But what’s wrong with your line of questioning?
This is why we need labeling. Thanks for the vote of confidence.
If Waitrose intends to stay GMO free for as long as it can……………….just stop now as they probably won’t let us in on it when it happens. If we can barely trust the ones that proclaim GMO free we surely shouldn’t trust any of those who say “Until it makes it unprofitable for us we will try to remain GMO free!!!!
Stay away from big chains or NYSE brands. Buy local . Create your own .
Whats in your wallet ? A tyranny killer.
Yes I say buy local!! I have local gmo fed beef in the freezer and buy roundup sweet corn at the local farm market can’t be better. Thanks for the advice Bradley.
Your whole act of ‘GMO’s are good’ is so nauseatingly stupid. Get a life.
That’s not what he means Bobo. You missed the point as usual. This isn’t the advise he was giving. I think you have a reading comprehension difficulty. Do you suffer from dyslexia and other related learning disabilities?
We know what you suffer from “little” johnny. Now instead of lying about what other people said tell us what type of government we have.
Now there you go again Bobo evading the subject. Anyway I thought you had gone off to the institution for your therapy. Why are you still trolling around here where nobody wants you?
You must want me “little” johnny, you keep answering me. Of course you jst be starved for attention with your wife out looking for bigger tools. So tell us what kind of government we have “little” Johnny.
You know what kind of government we have gmoroberts. The kind thats bought and paid for by Big Corporations. The kind that our early founding fathers would not understand or recognize.
I would love for someone to explain to me what the difference is between sugar from GM sugar beets and non-GM sugar beets. Any takers?
Bradley James to Skeptologist
If you have to ask you deserve cancer and diabetes before 50..
Bradley, are you familiar with comedian Bill Engvall’s Here’s Your Sign bit?
Thanks for displaying your sign 🙂
Skeptologist, are you familiar with the Three Stooges?
Only Bobo would eat a Dominoes Pizza!
i didn’t read it that way for as long as they can meaning waiting till everything is contaminated and then no one will be gm free so neither will they, they win either way!!!! F-Heads i won’t buy any of their crap…..ever!!!!
Are you feeding your baby GMO snacks, laced with toxic pesticides?
Yes,
if you feed them Gerber Graduates Lil’ Crunchies Veggie Dip Baked Whole
Grain Corn Snack. That’s a mouthful to say—and as it turns out, it’s
also a mouthful of pesticide-drenched GMO corn.
The folks at GMO
Free USA sent a package of Gerber Lil’ Crunchies to a certified lab to
test for the presence of GMO material. Here’s what the group learned:
The
quantitative PCR test verified, by DNA analysis, that 100% of the corn
in the Lil’ Crunchies Veggie Dip was GMO. All of the corn has been
genetically engineered to be herbicide tolerant (Roundup Ready) and the
corn contained DNA sequences known to be present in Bt
insecticide-producing GMO corn
If that is what you really believe then why not leave?
Go where Robert? They are spraying the whole earth with geo-engineering chemtrails.
The poll is finally back and the consensus is complete- 95 % of readers here feel you add nothing to the conversations here and that you need to move on to somewhere else. I am sorry I have to be the one to break the bad news but the board seemed to think that you felt a sort of affinity towards me and that it would be better for me to break the news. Sorry no hard feelings Mr Roberts.
Good luck in going forward
I don’t really care! I’m here for the five percent. Five percent on a biased site equals eighty five in the real world so it is no wonder things like labeling have always lost. Now tell us what kind of a government we have “little” Johnny.
Don’t worry You’ll get over it. I am sure that wonderful therapist will help you figure out a cure to your malady.
You are the one that can’t handle the truth that things like labeling has been voted down every time it had been put to a vote. Keep living your fantasy “little” Johnny. By the way tell us what kind of government we have as well.
No sorry wrong again Bobo. With a little more research and study you may be permitted to work with the big boys. Until then listen to your mommy and try to do what your bosses at Monsanto tell you- however so obscene.
You must stop your fantasies “little” Johnny as they have lead of defeat in every state where labeling has been voted on. Your petty jabs are getting you no where as well. So just tell us what kind of government we have johnny.
Jabs? No Bobo I am just trying to help you out of your difficult predicament.
Anyway isn’t it way past your bedtime. I think your institution has a lights out time. Good night Bobo.
“Nothing of importance here to respond to”
Translation?
Losing again are we “little” Johnny. Then just tell us what kind of government we have then.
It is amazing that some people on here that have never been to a farm try to tell you how food is raised. The ignorance of the people attacking gmos below is very funny.
