Non-declared genetically modified soy
Lithuania: Confectionery products from Ukraine have been found to contain non-declared genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
More than 5% of genetically modified soy was found in 'Chrustiaščia kukurūznaja' best before 17-4-2018 made by Vyrobnik Plius and 'Chrumka' best before 11-12-2017 produced by FLP LIUBYJ V.M.
The Ukrainian producers did not indicate the GMO composition although according to EU legislation this should be done if the food contains more than 0.9% of GMO.
