Read this important report by Dr
Chris Viljoen, GMO Testing Facility, University of the Free State.
"Detection of GMO in food products in South Africa: Implications of GMO
labelling"
An Extract from this report reveals that "90% of soy products and 61% of maize products tested
contained GMOs. That’s despite South Africa only growing 50% of GM soy, 10%GM white maize and 24% of GM yellow
maize.”
So what can we, as consumers, do?
- Print a list of non-GM brands
and take it to the supermarket with
you
- Use sustainable alternatives, eg. organics;
- Take action to demand labelling of GM foods;
- Make a donation to SAFeAGE to enable us to keep up our work.
