Australia's leading food expert, Margaret Fulton, has launched
a new publication designed to give Australian shoppers control
over their food.
The
True Food Guide reveals which food companies may be using genetically
engineered (GE) ingredients in their products and which are not.
Greenpeace
released new market research today, which shows that 68% of Australians
would be less likely to buy a food if they knew it was genetically
engineered.
"It
is clear that most Australians don't want to eat GE foods, but
they've had no way of knowing how to avoid them," said Greenpeace
GE campaigner John Hepburn. "The
True Food Guide will empower shoppers to say no to genetically
engineered foods."
Launching
the True Food Guide Margaret Fulton said, "Genetically engineered
food threatens everything I stand for. There is enough evidence
to tell us that genetically engineered food is not a good idea.
The True Food Guide will be our reference to what is safe to eat
- not only for us, but for our children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren".
