Brasília, October 16, 2003 (Agência Brasil - ABr) - On World Nutrition Day, protesters from the non-governmental organization, Greenpeace, demonstrated against the sale of transgenic soybeans, to warn consumers about products in which it is not identified as an ingredient.

In a local supermarket, the activists taped labels saying "Careful, may contain transgenics" to various products, such as cereal bars, cookies, tomato sauce, and cooking oil.

Similar demonstrations are planned for the coming days in supermarkets in other cities, such as Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, and São Paulo. (DAS)
