What does a GE-free policy mean?
Having a GE-Free policy means a company has a genuine commitment to supplying GE-Free foods and does so through all possible means.
All possible means includes:
….using organic ingredients that are produced to ensure they comply with national and international standards such as IFOAM which do not permit GE-ingredients in organic products
…. requiring their suppliers to provide “Identity-Preserved” ingredients which are kept separate from GE-products. This requirement should be a backed up with a legal contract requiring best practice systems to avoid GE contamination and that these be regularly checked to ensure compliance.
….formulating products to remove any ingredients likely to be at risk of GE contamination such as soy produced in conventional farming and has not been protected by a “Identity Preserved” system.
….sourcing ingredients from locations where there is little or no GE production so the risk of contamination is reduced. There are many countries including New Zealand, Europe, Africa and Asia where GE-Free zones have been declared to keep food clear of GE-contamination.
