Tell Sainsbury’s you can ‘Taste the GM-fed Difference’

Please write to Mike Coupe, Chief Executive of Sainsbury’s head office to demand a return to higher food quality standards.

In 2016 Sainsbury’s was able to give us and its customers a list of its non-organic non GM-fed products.

These included Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference product line, including chicken, turkey and duck; Taste the Difference and Omega-3 eggs and all its farmed salmon.

What changed?

Asked for similar information in 2017, Sainsbury’s now says it does ‘not have a specific list available’.

This means that those Taste the Difference products, Omega-3 eggs and farmed salmon are now being raised on a diet containing GM animal feed.

Sainsbury’s says it will account for customer feedback when it next reviews its corporate policy. So please do let them know what you think.

Please ask Sainsbury’s Chief Executive to match the standard he was able to meet in 2016.

Ask him why the non GM-fed foods you want to buy are no longer available. Be sure to let him know that you want to buy non GM-fed here in the UK and will change your shopping habits to get it.
