Worrall Thompson blasts GM food
Vegetarians could be eating animals unknowingly as a result of genetic modification, a leading chef has claimed.
The warning was delivered by Antony Worrall Thompson to an audience at Hotelympia this morning.
Genes from salmon were being introduced into strawberries in order to allow the fruit to be stored at a lower temperature to assist storage, he claimed.
Worrall Thompson added that genetically modified (GM) food was fatally wounded in the UK. "The words GM now make people scared in the way the word nuclear does," he said.
