At the end of last week M&S, Sainsbury's, the Co-op, and Tesco announced that they will no longer require that the farm animals in their supply chains are fed a non-GM diet. That just leaves Waitrose actively seeking to exclude GM animal feed from their product supply chains, plus Sainsbury's saying they will exclude from their "Taste the Difference" range.

To make matters worse M&S, the Co-op, and Tesco all made misleading claims about what they were doing, as Peter Melchett explains here:

It's important that these supermarkets get very clear feedback on their change of policy so please send a quick email to the UK supermarkets, telling them what you think. All it needs is a sentence or two, and your own woprds are best, but we give a guide below.

It's particularly important as well to congratulate Waitrose for standing firm on this issue.

Dear Waitrose, Just to say well done for maintaining your non GM fed poultry and eggs - an excellent decision. if you let me know about any other non GM fed ranges i will buy them too.

Dear M&S, I am bitterly disappointed in your decision to drop your non GM fed ranges. I will not be buying GM fed meat and dairy, and hence will not be frequenting your shops until you switch back to using non-GM feed in your meat and dairy.

Dear Tesco, It is very wrong for you to drop your non GM fed poultry and eggs. It was the only reason I still shopped there. I suggest you rapidly re connect with your customers, use your market power to contract in non-GM soya supplies and reverse your decision as soon as possible.
