Please respond privately to get the whole thing: NEWS FLASH 3/25/98 British Supermarket Chain Refuses Genetically Engineered Foods British Supermarket Chain Refuses GE Foods LONDON, March 19 (UPI) One of Britain's largest supermarket chains says it is refusing to market under its own brand name genetically altered foods. The company, Iceland Foods, explained its policy today, breaking ranks with other key chains Safeway, Tesco and Sainsbury's. The policy effective bans the sale of many U.S. food products under Iceland's brand name and guarantees nearly 400 grocery products will contain no genetically modified foods. <snips> The decision is the result of the personal views of Iceland's founder, chairman and chief executive Malcolm Walker. He told British radio today, "Consumers are being conned." He said use of genetically modified ingredients "is probably the most significant and potentially dangerous development in food production this century." ----------------------- Peace- Daniel. --1920162272-993307873-891016993=:10380--
