A new survey published today by Friends of the Earth shows that 24 of the UK's 30 leading food manufacturers have removed, or are removing, genetically modified (GM) ingredients from their food products.
The news is a major victory for consumers, the vast majority of whom are concerned about the potential health and environmental impacts of the new technology, despite Government attempts to reassure the public of its safety.
The rush to go GM-free has intensified over recent weeks. All the top supermarkets are now removing GM ingredients from their own-brand food products, and a FOE survey in March revealed that most of the major restaurant chains were also going GM-free.
