Subject: [cban e-News] GM apple approved in Canada over consumer and farmer objections
Update: GM apple approved in Canada over consumer and farmer objections
On Friday March 20, 2015, Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced approval of the genetically modified (GM) apple, trademarked "Arctic Apple"�. The GM apple is now legal to sell in Canada and the US. The company says it will start selling GM "non-browning"� varieties of Golden Delicious and Granny Smith apple varieties next year. But will any stores actually sell the GM apple?
The apple is genetically modified to not turn brown after being cut. Polls show that almost 70% of Canadians did not want this GM apple approved. Are you one of them?
Take Action
Grocery chain stores are listening to customers. Please write your letter to the head office of your grocery store this week. Contacts are posted at http://cban.ca/content/view/full/1903 or you can visit the company website to find a phone number. Your letter is very influential. Please send the responses you get to info@cban.ca
Information and other actions, including a "No GM Apple"� pledge form for your small independent store, are posted at www.cban.ca/apple
Today's press release from CBAN is below. Please send this press release to your local paper. Send your own letter to the editor, to your local newspaper, if you have something to say about the GM apple.
