Slow Food in the UK and Beyond GM has co-ordinated a campaign with more than 50 NGOs, civil society leaders and farmers to ask our largest UK Supermarkets not to stock genetically engineered/gene edited (GMO) foods.
Why now?
The Government has launched a consultation – ending on 17th March – to allow genetically engineered/gene edited foods (which are GMOs) to be used in the UK. Currently no GMO foods are produced commercially in the UK.
What can I do about this?
You can also tell the stores that you shop at, that like the majority of British shoppers you don’t want to buy these foods.
We have suggested tweets/posts and the social media accounts of all the major UK stores in this download. It only takes a moment, and is a powerful way alongside answering the consultation of ensuring that your views are heard.
However please feel free to make your own posts, just remember to use the #notinmysupermarket
