Report: 100% of Corn in These Popular Chips is ‘Completely GMO’
As well as a popular weed killer chemical
Latest News
Bad news: Frito-Lays SunChips have just tested positive for weed killer and GMO ingredients. The chips are marketed as a ‘healthy’ alternative to regular chips as a means to lessen the chance of developing heart disease, but if your dining on Round Up (glyphosate residues) and GM Bt toxins found in most genetically modified corn, then ‘healthy’ as Frito-Lay defines it takes on a new meaning.
Samples were sent to a lab by GmoFreeUSA.org. They used quantitative PCR test verification by DNA analysis only to find that 100% of the chips contained DNA sequences known to be present in insecticide-producing Bt and Roundup Ready corn, as well as traces of the active ingredient known as glyphostae, used in Monsanto’s best-selling herbicide, Round Up.
That means BT toxins are inside your cells when you eat this product. It means you are eating a pesticide that has been registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The glyphosate residue test was conducted by an accredited lab using the Specific LC/MS/MS testing method with a minimum detectable level of 0.02 ppm. This test proved the presence of glyphosate in SunChips at a level of 0.14 ppm, or 0.14 mg/kg. This is a significant enough level to cause concern, but really, any residue level at all, even in miniscule amounts, is linked to ill health.
Busted: Popular ‘Non-GMO’ Chips Contain 75% GMOs
Guess who owns Frito-Lay who makes SunChips? Pepsi-Co, one of the largest contributors to the Grocery Manufacturer’s Association (GMA), responsible for fighting GMO labeling in numerous states. They’ve donated millions to keep you from knowing this very information.
As GMOFreeUSA puts it:
“…$13,166,299 million is an obscene amount of money to spend fighting transparency and it makes you wonder what Pepsi is trying to hide. NOW WE KNOW.”
Looks like Pepsi’s dirty secret has been left out in the sun.

That picture of the ear of corn is smut fungus, has nothing to do with GMO. Honestly all the talk is “you can’t prove GMO’s aren’t harmful.” I have never seen any definitive proof that they “are harmful.” We should be more concerned about chemicals that are in our tap water, and the products that use tap water. Chlorine, and Fluoride interfere with normal thyroid function, and lead to the development of cancers, according to many doctors of oncology. It makes total sense that Chlorine, Bromine, and Florine, block the absorption of Iodine essential to proper thyroid function, This GMO stuff is mainly the fad of the day, so stores like Whole Foods can get rich selling produce for 3 times the normal cost. Lets fix the water, and decrease fats, and starches, and get better results quicker.
we can be concerned about both gmos and our water. you don’t need to throw up a false choice.
Chips are not food, only junk food and should be approached as cautious as an IED.
Ummmm, you’re dining????
OK who all thinks that GMORoberts has his head up his A$$?? if it’s so good for you why is it other countries are blocking GMO’s from coming into their country?
I will never buy anything that Pepsi owns again…never
just disgusting, YUCK.
When someone says “nothing will change”, part of that may be true. But
we, the consumers, can be the change. I’ve stopped buying the despicable
junk that’s being sold as “food”. That’s pretty simple I think. I’ve
started making things less complicated and I’ve stopped buying the crap
that’s not really food anyway.
Chips! why would anyone consume chips?
Bc they taste good?????
That is a smokers excuse.
there is nothing nutritional about chips! what happened to the good all nuts or grapes.
The best chips on the market are Jackson’s organic potato chips cooked in coconut oil.
PepsiCo is a major stakeholder in the U.S. CONgress … sadly, nothing will change.
Uneblievable
Let’s see we won’t believe the thousands of gmo safety test results because a few of the contained company data, but it is perfectly fine to use Lab results paid for by gmofreeusa? What hipocrites you people are.
Are you a paid troll? You post 24/7 on Natural Society and natural health sites complaining.
Sure I complain about the outright lies that are on here. By the way I would shout out the truth for free for things I believe in.
YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN TRUTH!
You wouldn’t know the truth if it hit you.
Look at your name? Gmo Roberts—I like the other name they call you here – like troll- idiot-dumb-blind-etc……
Why, because I’m not gullible enough to believe the lies on social media like you? Because I’m smart enough to know that gmos have been out for twenty years with zero harm? Or is it because I have seen how they help farmers first hand? At least I don’t turn to cheap insults like you when I can’t come up with a valid point.
YOU don’t believe peoples like you and me–you believe the brainwashing tool called a television!!!!!
Sorry watch very little television and even then it is for entertainment. You should probably quit assuming, because you suck at it.
And you suck at trying to make a point
Yes backing up points with evidence does really suck to a person like yourself that bases lifestyles on social media rumors.
Roberts,
I’m very curious to know the truth. Could you please point me in the direction of a published peer reviewed scientific study on the safety of bt toxin in humans or animals? Thanks so much, I really do appreciate your input.
Gmodangeroustalk. com there you should be able to find all the information you are looking for from all over the world. Please let me know if this helps.
After reading through most of the links on that website, I have come to the conclusion that you have not provided any evidence that there exists a published peer reviewed scientific study on the safety of bt toxin in humans or animals. Actually, doing my own research, I have found a scientific study that proves otherwise:

GMO Roberts and people like you need to WAKE UP!!!
We should be supporting more organic farms vs GMO’s. For those of you that trust our government that they are safe …..it’s not just about the Fruit Loops habit people don’t want to give up…..it’s about the environment…ya know, the BIG PICTURE?!?!? Wake up people!
“One of the main arguments behind creating these GMO crops is that farmers then need to use less herbicide and pesticide. This makes farms more eco-friendly, say proponents of genetically modified (GM) crops, and GM seeds also allow farmers to spend less on “inputs” (chemicals), thereby making a greater profit.
But a new study released by Food & Water Watch yesterday finds the goal of reduced chemical use has not panned out as planned. In fact, according to the USDA and EPA data used in the report, the quick adoption of genetically engineered crops by farmers has increased herbicide use over the past 9 years in the U.S”

Obviously, this effects our soil, waterways, air ……our planet as a whole.
I’m sure the children of our future will love the toxic wasteland we leave them!! THERE IS A BETTER WAY!! IT’s called smaller organic family farms…..get back to our roots. Not these evil Big AG money hungry corporations and factory farms.
World renown Scientist Vandana Shiva recently gave a lecture concerning GMO’s and seeds at ASU. In short there are studies to prove their toxicity. Rats developed tumors in just a couple months and that was just GMO. It did not consider the chemicals also added normally in the field. In short she said GMO are not needed, are proven unsafe, environmentally detrimental and unsustainable. If Monsanto had their way any seed saving would be illegal, not just GMO. They want a royalty every time a seed is planted. Left over seeds cannot be used for the next season unless you purchase another season’s right to grow. Farmers in Africa are facing years in jail for replanting seeds. When GMO crops fail the farmers do not have enough money left to repurchase the rights. They have no way to move forward. Many go bankrupt or commit suicide. GMO’s are not needed and are a direct threat to everyone’s right to decent food and water worldwide. Local sustainable food systems, which don’t need to be moved around the world, are the only way to feed our increasing numbers.
You FRIGHTEN me … zero harm? YOU are bloody LAUGHABLE, sir.
The truth speaks for itself!! ZERO HARM!!.
Odd that this mother doesn’t agree. She believes GMO’s destroyed her sons health and directly led to his suicide. http://scoopwithmysoup.com/about-me/
Sorry about your son, maybe a little less blaming on things that aren’t the cause and a little more love would have helped.
A little more love? Seriously GMO Roberts? you are evil. Stop. just stop. What’s wrong with you?
GMO you mean the studies with the rats with gmo diets that had huge
tumors, died early and were sterile by the 3rd generation?and it’s good
for us, ya right. you do know the biggest people in the FDA came from
MON SATAN. no wonder gmo’s are a go.
Strange how no one seems to be able to duplicate that study, but you can verify it. Why don’t you find a grain elevator and see how many tumor ridden rats you see. Strange how those do so good eating all gmos.
even If I did go to the grain elevator and found rats with tumors how do you know if it wasn’t from something else. that is why you have to have studies with control groups.

what you would find is pretty healthy rats, but you wouldn’t believe it.
I suppose you still believe in santa as well………face palm
Longest-Running GMO Safety Study Finds Tumors in Rats
http://www.motherearthnews.com/natural-health/gmo-safety-zmgz13amzsto.aspx
the burden is on YOU and GMO pushers to prove safety, not us to prove harm because by then it is too late. but go ahead and eat all the GMO you can produce. Just keep it away from the rest of us who know it is wrong to mess with Mother Nature this way.
after twenty years and billions of meals if don’t don’t believe it now it is because you don’t want to.
@ GMO you mean the studies with the rats with gmo diets that had huge tumors, died early and were sterile by the 3rd generation?and it’s good for us, ya right. you do know the biggest people in the FDA came from MON SATAN. no wonder gmo’s are a go.
You mean the rats that were designed to grow tumors in the first place for cancer research? Ewe really are pretty dumb there aren’t you.
zero harm? proof? lots and lots of cancer out there. enjoy your roundup and your gmos, roberts. it’s not a lie that just because you can’t “prove” something is harmful that it’s not. it’s commonsense if it kills weeds and bugs and other living things and that if your body doesn’t recognize it as food that, ugh, I don’t want to injest it. you go right ahead, but keep it away from my bees, please. oh. since you can’t, then just ban it. before ALL the bee colonies collapse.
Thanks for actually proving that you have no proof as well. Thanks for playing.
