Dear Tesco

I am very concerned about the recent change in your policy to allow your pigs, poultry meat and egg laying chickens to be fed on GM animal feed. I want to avoid all GM products throughout the food chain. Loopholes in labelling legislation mean that I don't know when my meat and dairy has been fed on GM animal feed, as these products are not labelled as GM. I urge you to reinstate your ban on using GM feed for your pigs, poultry meat and egg laying chickens. Please also act to ensure all foods on your shelves are GM free, and that all animal products are produced without the use of GM feed. I am also extremely concerned about the wider impacts of soy on the environment and communities overseas, and that the Round Table on Responsible Soy (RTRS) will fail to address these impacts. We must find alternatives to imported soy. I urge Tesco to support UK farmers to grow their own animal feeds and create demand for grass-fed and extensive livestock systems. Please let me know what steps you are taking to ensure that meat and dairy on your shelves is totally GM-free, and that it supports planet-friendly livestock farming in the UK.

You can contact me by email (preferably - to save resources) or at the following address:
