Re: Bio Sweet Corn - is it non GMO?

I bought a can of "Bio Sweet Corn " (Bio Sussmais, Mais doux bio, Mais dolce bio) from the Coop and would like to know it the corn is genetically modified (GM). I have searched the Coop website (with the help of Babelfish), but could not find the answer to this specific question.

Does anyone know if the Coop-Naturaplan sweet corn is a non-GMO (genetically modified organism)?

Ta.
something happened to that post... try again,

On the left is what maize/corn looked like around 3000 years ago. Ingenious creatures that we are decided to randomly mix genetic material from related species and hey presto, after a couple centuries out pops the form we are used to seeing (on the right). So you see, in a logical argument the corn we eat is most certainly genetically modified
