non-GMO

Chipotle has made the announcement that they are removing GMOs (genetically modified ingredients) from their food, making the Mexican restaurant the first national fast food chain to do so. The ingredients replaced are corn, used in corn and flour tortillas, and soy, used in cooking oil and flour tortillas. 93% of corn grown last year in the US was genetically modified, including 76% that is herbicide resistant and produces pesticides. 94% of soy grown in the US last year was created to resist the pesticide glyphosate – also known as RoundUp, Rodeo, and Pondmaster.
