Chipotle is First U.S. Restaurant Chain to Voluntarily Label GMOs
Chipotle, which is coming to Carlsbad near the intersection of Palomar Airport Way and El Camino Real, is taking a stand against genetically modified ingredients, reports Media Bistro.
“Our goal is to eliminate GMOs from Chipotle’s ingredients, and we’re working hard to meet this challenge. For example, we recently switched our fryers from soybean oil to sunflower oil. Soybean oil is almost always made from genetically modified soybeans, while there is no commercially available GMO sunflower oil. Where our food contains currently unavoidable GM ingredients, it is only in the form of corn or soy," a statement on the company's website reads.
