Researchers in Europe are concerned about the increased levels of herbicide residues found in harvested plants and food products, which they associate with the use of glyphosate-resistant soybeans.

UK food manufacturers can now source soy that is certified as Non-GM and Responsibly Produced, as two new standards have been developed in response to retailer demands.
