Is Innscor supplying potentially cancerous products to the market?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mupambi urged Zimbabweans to boycott Innscor&#8217;s fast-food outlets until the company addresses the serious health concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We could be facing a health crisis, evidenced by long hospital queues mirroring those at fast-food restaurants.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mkandla supported Mupambi&#8217;s stance, warning that GMOs might be a long-term indirect depopulation strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The rate at which cancer is escalating in Zimbabwe must be a cause for concern. Authorities must investigate Matinyarare&#8217;s claims.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mupambi emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability from major corporations, saying,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Innscor must answer the critical question: Do their products contain GMOs that could be carcinogenic?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The activists&#8217; concerns reflect a broader call for consumer rights and public health protection in Zimbabwe. As Mupambi stressed,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Investment should not come at the expense of public health and safety.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zim GBC News\u00a92024<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South African Correspondent The controversy surrounding Innscor&#8217;s alleged deployment of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in their food products has intensified, with human rights activist Abigale Mupambi and International Coalition Against&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4218,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[126],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4217"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4217\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4219,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4217\/revisions\/4219"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
