FINALLY! General Mills cuts GMOs from Cheerios

Its a step in the right direction...



General Mills Inc. said it has stopped using genetically modified organisms in its flagship Cheerios breakfast cereal amid growing oppostion to the use of such ingredients.

The Minneapolis-based company said in a blog post Thursday night that it has already begun using non-GM cornstarch and non-GM sugar in Cheerios. It said its oats, the primary ingredient, is a crop that is not grown from genetically modified seeds.

The change only affects original Cheerios, not other varieties like Honey Nut Cheerios, according to General Mills.
