Send a letter to the Chief Executive of Iceland

Now that the GM-foods issue is again in the spotlight, please join the GM-Free Foods Campaign* in writing to the major supermarkets to urge them to continue to keep their own-brand products GM-Free (pressure from the Government and the biotech industry is making the supermarkets think seriously about banding together to introduce a united pro-GM front).

Please write to the following supermarket (in your own words) and urge them to maintain their current policy of keeping their own-brand food products GM-free – as demanded by the vast majority of UK consumers over the past eleven years. You may wish to request a response in writing.

* Our group was the first in the UK to act against GM-foods in May 1996 by writing to all the major supermarkets to alert them to the potential health and environmental risks of GMOs – which resulted in Iceland Stores going GM-free soon after).

Subject

I am writing to express my strong concern about the renewed attempts by some politicians and by the biotech industry to force GM foods into Europe. Many leading scientists have expressed concerns over many years about the safety of GM foods and the lack of proper studies, and my family and I definitely don't want to eat them. I'm therefore writing to ask you for confirmation that you will continue to enforce the strong stand that Iceland has taken over nearly a decade to protect us all from the dangers of GM foods by excluding them from your own brand products. I would also ask you, in particular, to ensure that your suppliers of meat, eggs and dairy products feed their livestock only non-GM animal feed. If you have ranges of meat, eggs and dairy that are fed on non-GM feed, please let me know which these are and label these ranges clearly as "GM Free" so I can continue to shop for my family from your stores with confidence, knowing that we are not eating foods produced from GMOs. I look forward to hearing from you.
