Take Action

Food companies continue to use GMOs in our food, ignoring the wishes of the majority of Canadians. One company in particular stands out. Loblaws Companies Ltd., is the largest grocery retailer in Canada and owns both the President’s Choice and No Name brands. With more than 1 100 stores in Canada operating under the names Loblaws, Zehrs, Real Canadian Superstore, Provigo, Maxi, SuperValu, Extra Foods, Shop Easy, Lucky Dollar, Independent, Cash & Carry, Dominion in Newfoundland, Valu-mart, Fortinos, No Frills, Atlantic Superstore and Atlantic SaveEasy, what Loblaws decides determines what you are eating.

Greenpeace is calling on Loblaws to:

• Commit to the removal of GE ingredients from President’s Choice, No Name and other Loblaws brand name products.
  
  
• As an interim measure, immediately begin labeling products which contain GE ingredients and stop preventing suppliers from labeling products “Non-GE.”
  
  
• Instruct suppliers that Loblaws will begin a phase-out of all products in their stores that contain GE ingredients.

Retailers around the world have stopped experimenting on their customers and have refused to sell GE foods. Sainsbury’s in England, Carrefour in France and, recently, Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods in North America have all committed to the removal of GE foods in their name brand products.

If you think Loblaws and President’s Choice should give you the same courtesy, call them at
