Australia currently has limited labelling laws for genetically
engineered (GE) foods. That's where the Greenpeace Truefood Guide
comes in handy. The guide rates food brands and products as Green
(GE-free) and Red (may contain GE ingredients). It's your shopping
list for GE-free food and beverages.
Buy Green. Companies and supermarkets listed as
green have implemented policies and procedures throughout their
supply chain to actively avoid ingredients derived from GE
crops.
Avoid Red. The companies and supermarkets
listed in the red section of the guide may have products that
contain ingredients derived form GE crops.
The new 2010 Truefood Guide includes even more food and beverage
brands. It also sees leading brands Nestlé, Foster's, Schweppes and
Lindt shift to GE-free.
