| | Lawsuit challenges FDA approval of GM additive that makes Impossible Burger "bleed" The Center for Food Safety (CFS) has filed a legal brief in its challenge to the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) 2019 approval of soy leghemoglobin (SLH), a colour additive used to make Impossible Foods' eponymous plant-based burger, the Impossible Burger, appear to "bleed" like real meat. The novel SLH colorant is produced in genetically engineered (GE) yeast, and is modelled on a protein found in the roots of soybean. The GE SLH is actually a colour additive preparation that also contains over a dozen yeast proteins. Because GE SLH is new to the human diet, and substantial quantities are added to the Impossible Burger, FDA should have required extensive safety testing before approving its use as a colour additive, as required by law. GMWatch TAKE ACTION: Save monarch butterflies from extinction! The yearly winter monarch count along the California coast, overseen each year by the conservation group Xerces Society, was the lowest ever. In 2020, citizen scientists counted only 2,000 butterflies. The findings indicate that many on the planet today are, within their lifetimes, likely to experience a world where western monarchs are extinct. Tell the US Fish and Wildlife Service to list monarch butterflies on the list of threatened and endangered species. Tell the Environmental Protection Agency to eliminate pollinator poisons.
