Tell Coles you want GM-free poultry products
08 August 2010 Major retailer Coles has admitted their two biggest chicken suppliers use GM feed. If you want to avoid GM chicken products and are shopping in Coles in West Australia or Tasmania, you can't even get GM-free certified organic chicken brands, meaning that if you eat poultry you're eating GM.
Coles responds to our enquirer: "we will continue to monitor the customer demand and will endeavour to adjust our range accordingly".
However they try to weazel out of the situation, by saying that although their chickens eat GM feed, this "does not affect the genetic make up of chicken". Go figure!
Don't let Coles get away with weazel words instead of action. Tell them you want chickens that have not been given GM feed: Coles.Customer.Care@coles.com.au
