the pertinent bit being "...a cauliflower virus used in GM foods..."

http://www.yptenc.org.uk/docs/factsheets/env_facts/gmfood.html

"...or adding genes from a virus to a plant to allow it to become resistant to the virus."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/special_report/1999/02/99/food_under_the_microscope/280868.stm

"Cauliflowers are naturally infected with a virus that is commonly used in the laboratory for modification purposes, and we eat millions of the vegetables with no ill effects."

http://members.tripod.com/~ngin/foodguide.htm

"GM foods contain randomly inserted genes from foreign organisms. These often include genetic elements of viruses and bacteria. In some cases an antibiotic resistant gene is also included. In the case of the biggest GM food crop, Monsanto's GM soya there are genes from a virus, a soil bacterium and a petunia, none of which have been in human food before."

"The promoter gene which is placed into the majority of GM foods is from a virus; a common virus chosen for this purpose is the cauliflower mosaic virus..."


etc.
