For suspicion that it has been genetically modified, Uncle Ben’s rice has undergone analysis in Switzerland and was briefly withdrawn from shelves in Croatia too.

At the same time another food scandal broke out in Europe with ingredients of articles known as the “Mars case”. Mars jettisoned rennet from its chocolate bars, a natural enzyme that is found in the stomach of calves. The company said it had used rennet to secure the availability of food, although many industrial experts believe that it was for cutting costs. The statement caused rage among consumers. In only seven days in Great Britain more than six thousand people contacted the local vegetarian society. Realising what they had done, Mars apologised to all vegetarians and removed rennet from its chocolate bars. This case concerned many people who take care of their health (although not so many in Croatia) and many are now asking do we at all know what we are eating, drinking and using.
