Hershey’s pulls GMO ingredients from best-selling chocolate bars amid backlash against ‘Frankenfoods’
Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolates and Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars will start featuring ‘simpler ingredients’ this year, the company announced
It comes after pressure from anti-GMO activists, who claim the technology is environmentally suspect and a possible health threat
Others in the food industry insist the foods are safe and less harmful to the environment, and that the technology boosts food production
Hershey’s says the new ingredients will be more expensive but it is committed to keeping prices the same for consumers
