Sign and Share: Petition for mandatory labelling of GMOs in Canada.
The Canadian Biotechnology Action Network (CBAN) and the group Kids Right to Know have launched a Parliamentary e-petition (e-6768) calling for mandatory labelling of all genetically engineered (genetically modified or GM) foods in Canada, including those produced with new gene editing techniques like CRISPR. Sign the petition today!
There are only five GM crops (corn, soy, canola, sugar beet, and alfalfa) grown in Canada and only three GM fruits and vegetables on the market, with a very marginal presence in Canadian grocery stores (GM sweet corn, papaya, and pineapple). However, the new genetic engineering techniques of gene editing could soon mean the sale of many new genetically modified organisms (GMOs), including more GM whole fruits and vegetables.
We need mandatory labelling for transparency and choice in the food system. This is even more important now because recent deregulation of most foods from plants engineered by gene editing technology means that many new GMOs could soon enter the market without safety assessments or notification to the government.
The petition is open for signatures until November 3, 2025. Demand transparency and choice. Sign and share petition e-6768.
