No GMO Salad

March 2025: Bayer (formerly Monsanto) is getting ready to sell genetically engineered (genetically modified or GM) mustard greens that are gene edited to taste less mustardy. These salad greens could be sold in grocery stores in the US and Canada in early 2025. Bayer also wants to sell the GM seeds to home gardeners and market gardeners.
