A catalogue of genetically engineered (GE) foods sold in grocery stores lists 3,000 products by product name, manufacturer or GE status. The catalogue provides alternatives to GE foods, and reveals which companies are not removing GE ingredients and manufacturers that are reacting to customers in providing non-GE food. For a copy of the guide (with reply envelope for donation) call 1-800-320-7183 or see www.greenpeace.ca/shoppersguide.
