Letter: Modified soya

Sir: It is untrue that "the entire food industry is making use of soya protein which may be derived from genetically modified soya beans", as claimed by Birdseye ("No warnings of modified soya in foods" 28 May). Many supermarket chains across Europe have sourced natural soya as, for example, has Iceland in this country. They have refused to bow to the bullying of their American suppliers.
