Stop Legal Contamination by Unapproved GM Foods: "Low Level Presence"

The Canadian Government is proposing to allow contamination of our food supply with genetically engineered foods that have not been approved for safe eating in Canada. The government wants to allow 0.1% or higher of our food to be contaminated with GM foods that have not been approved by Health Canada for safe human consumption but have been approved in at least one other country where our government has confidence in that regulatory system. 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. Click here to learn more and take action.
