Stop the Canadian Government from Legalizing Contamination from Unapproved GM Foods: "Low Level Presence"
Send your letter to the Minister of Health instantly!
February/March 2012: The Canadian Government is proposing a new policy to allow contamination of our food supply with genetically engineered foods that have not been approved for safe eating in Canada. The Canadian government wants to allow a percent, 0.1% or higher, of our food to be contaminated with genetically modified (GM) foods that have not been approved by Health Canada for safe human consumption. The GM foods will have been approved for safety in at least one other country but not yet evaluated as safe by our own regulators. The federal government calls this “Low Level Presence” or LLP and argues that this “low level” of contamination from unapproved GM foods is not harmful. More information about LLP.
Stop GM Animals: GM Salmon and "Enviropig™"
The University of Guelph is shutting down active research on the GM pig! The University needs to withdraw its application for approval to Health Canada.
Health Canada and Environment Canada could be reviewing a request to approve a GM Atlantic salmon right now! But they refuse to tell us whether they are or not!
There has never been a democratic debate about the introduction of GM animals into our food system and yet public funds are spent reviewing the safety of GM animals for approval whenever a company or university makes a request!
