Powell was the lead author of Agronomic and consumer considerations for Bt and conventional sweet corn which received the Award for Excellence for Most Outstanding Paper in 2004 from British Food Journal where it was published.^[9] The study found that consumers were more likely to choose genetically modified corn over non GMO corn. It was later criticized due to claims that the non GMO corn had a sign asking "Would you eat wormy sweetcorn?" while the GMO corn was labelled "Quality Sweetcorn".^[9][10][11] The study was later given "The GM Propaganda Lab Award 2006." by GM Watch.^[10]
