Mission Foods GMO

Apparently there was a suit brought against Mission Foods (owned by The Gruma Corporation) for stating the product is "natural" but in fact does contain GMOs. The judge is deferring to the FDA, which has not explained yet when the term, "natural" may be used. http://dockets.justia.com/docket/california/candce/4:2012cv06502/261945/


I should write to Mission Foods and ask why they sent me the following email when I asked about GM ingredients in their products:
