(NaturalNews) In yet another blow to GMOs, several major U.S. food
retailers have signed on to the "Campaign for GE-Free Seafood" found at http://www.foe.org/gefreeseafood
These
retailers include Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Aldi and many more. It's
the latest private sector blow to the deceptive biotech industry. Consumers overwhelming reject GMOs
even if the FDA conspires with biotechnology companies to try to shove
genetically engineered food down their throats. Activist organizations
like Natural News, the Organic Consumers Association and the Institute
for Responsible Technology have helped organize constant grassroots pressure on food retailers to either label GMOs or reject them outright.
"A
coalition of consumer, health, food safety and fishing groups today
launched the Campaign for Genetically Engineered (GE)-Free Seafood by
announcing that several major grocery retailers representing more than
2,000 stores across the United States have already committed not to sell
genetically engineered seafood if it is allowed onto the market," reads
the press release announcement. It continues:
The
FDA has stated it will likely not label genetically engineered salmon,
providing consumers no way of knowing if the fish they are feeding their
families is genetically engineered. At least 35 other species of
genetically engineered fish are currently under development, and the
FDA’s decision on this genetically engineered salmon application will
set a precedent for other genetically engineered fish and animals
(including cows, chickens and pigs) to enter the global food market.
