GM opposition grows in China Wednesday 28 April 2004 Consumers and manufacturers in the world’s largest food market, China, are becoming increasingly dismissive of genetically modified foods and ingredients, according to research by Greenpeace. The ‘Shoppers’ Guide to Avoiding GE (genetically engineered) Food’, recently published in China by the NGO, lists seventy-eight major manufacturers that have pledged to avoid use of biotechnology in their products in response to growing public opposition. Internationally recognised brands such as Heinz, Danone and Lipton are among the producers that have taken the stance. "Companies are committed to non-GE because GE food is unwanted," explained Sze Pang Cheung, of Greenpeace China. "GE food brings no benefits to consumers, but there are health risks and irreversible environmental threats. On the contrary, conventional soya has been consumed in China for 5000 years. Our common sense should tell us which is safer." Recent public opinion studies carried out in Beijing find that an overwhelming majority (87%) of respondents demand that manufacturers clearly label any products that contain GM ingredients. greenconsumerguide.com
