A woman of Shangai has started a penal cause against Nestlè and the company Shangai Lianjia Supermarket Co. for the suspect that in the known product Nesquiks are present some ingredients genetically modified.

Zhu Yanling, 32 years, has said of to have acquired a wrapping of Nesquik for her child in a supermarket managed by the chain Lianjia, last 27 March.

Following the standards on the OGMs fixed by the Minister of the Chinese agriculture last May, the researchers have not found some substance of nature genetically modified in the drink. But when the same researchers have effected a second test from them planned and thought very more sophisticated, small traces of ingredients OGM has been discovered between which derived of the soy.

Nestlè has immediately admitted that part of the wrappings Nestlè Nesquik distributes in China could contain derived of the soy cared from Brazil, but the company insists on the fact what its own products don't contain elements OGM "we Confide in the standards fixed by the Minister of the agriculture and we can say with certainty that our products they don't contain ingredients genetically modified" has reported Li Yiming, legal of Shangai Nestlè Co..
