Brazilian Court Demands Nestle Label GMO IngredientsAnthony Gucciardi Perhaps even more shocking is the fact that the court exposed a deep relationship between the Brazilian government and a major food industry lobby group that was forged in an effort to stop the court from issuing the ruling. This of course is predictable when considering that not only does Monsanto have a massive amount of political power with a figurehead in multiple branches of government, but when considering the previous WikiLeaks report that detailed how those who opposed Monsanto and biotechnology would be subject to military style trade wars. The WikiLeaks documents revealed just how closely Monsanto has been working with the United States government, and just how serious the U.S. is about ensuring that the corporations GMO crops are widely accepted across the globe. Amazingly, the Brazilian court took a stand against this corruption. Instead of groveling to Brazilian officials and mega biotechnology groups, the Brazilian business wire reports that the court determined the Brazilian government to be illegally working with the food industry entity known as ABIA. The court issued a fine of $2,478 per product that was found to violate the ruling after finding the presence of GMO ingredients in Nestles strawberry Bono cookies. Other nations have taken similar actions against Monsanto and GMOs as a whole, with Poland banning Monsantos GM maize and Peru passing a monumental 10 year ban on GMOs as a whole. In the United States, the government continues to ignore and deny the concerns surrounding genetically modified crops and ingredients, instead streamlining the approval process for Monsantos new modified creations.
