DNA from transgenic plants found in milk and animal tissue:
Traces of GM maize and soy in goats, fish and pigs

COMMENT from GM Free Cymru:

Both the industry and the GM regulators have been in denial about this issue. Over and again, they have denied the reliability of the evidence provided in the literature, and have even claimed on occasion that it is "impossible" for DNA from GM plants to find its way into the body tissue of animals. The evidence is now incontrovertible, and we look forward to an acceptance of this by EFSA, FSA and the other bodies who choose to make pronouncements about the supposed safety of GM crops and foods.

GM "science" -- Monsanto's rigged study for RR soy

Note that the abstract of this study (B) refers to it as a "safety assessment study" -- but it was nothing of the sort. For many years Monsanto has maintained a policy of muddying the water between safety studies and "nutritional" studies. Most of the studies have had the express purpose -- inevitably fulfilled -- of demonstrating that a GM crop is "nutritionally equivalent" to its isoline. That having been done, Monsanto proceeds to tell the world that the study has demonstrated that the GM crop is safe and is "substantially equivalent." And regulators all over the world have swallowed this nonsense, which is why many of us question their competence and indeed their ethics.

"In decades hence, it would not surprise me to find historians looking back in horror at the cavalier and primitive genetic manipulations which we unleashed on an unsuspecting-and narrow minded-world. The permanent contamination of species with human-transfered genes is a plague to be avoided."
