GM animal feed - the hidden GM in your trolley

***Coming soon: new listing of which supermarkets sell non-GM fed animal products.***

**New GfK/NOP poll says 89% of shoppers want labels on food from animals fed a GM diet.

In 2000 all the major supermarkets made commitments to phase out GM feed for the animals used to produce their meat and dairy products, but tonnes of GM animal feed are still being shipped in to the UK to feed the animals that supply milk in most stores.

Progress to remove GM feed from the supply lines of the major supermarkets has been slow and patchy. Fresh poultry is currently the most reliable for being GM-free and processed food the worst.

Action: Write to supermarkets to get the labels we want
