Monsanto disagreed with the classification.

(12,408 posts)GMO seeds are manipulated to accept higher doses of Roundup. Yes, Monsanto would play with our food so they can sell more of their poison. Imagine that, a company that has spent millions trying to stop us from knowing what is in our food would put our health above their profits. This is why it is so important for them to keep things hidden from consumers.
