Kellogg's using genetically modified soybean oil

Kellogg's announced that in 2006, it will use oil made from genetically modified soybeans in place of the partially hydrogenated oil and saturated fats found in some of its crackers and snacks. The oil, called Vistive and developed by St. Louis-based Monsanto Co., contains no trans fatty acids or saturated fatty acids.

Bonnie - if you consume their products, make sure you read labels. If the product contains Vistive, be extra aware of allergic symptoms. Soy itself is very allergenic, but genetically modified soybeans may present a whole new level of allergy. Pay attention to your body.
