  • The Truefood Guide Is Your Shopping List for Healthy, GE-Free Food
    The Truefood Guide is your shopping list for healthy, GE-free food Australia has very limited laws for the labelling of genetically engineered (GE) foods. That’s where the Truefood Guide comes in. The Guide rates food brands and products as Green (GE-free) or Red (may contain GE ingredients). ✔ Buy Green Brands and products in the green section have policies and procedures throughout their supply chain to actively avoid ingredients derived from GE crops. ✘ Avoid Red Brands and products in the red section of the Guide may contain ingredients derived from GE crops. GE crops were introduced in Australia in 2008. GE canola is now commercially grown in NSW and Victoria. Canola is found in many pantry foods from margarine and vegetable oil, to ice-cream, breads and sauces. Ingredients derived from soy, maize and cottonseed are also in many food products in Australia. Most Australians do not want to eat GE food. Many food companies are responding to consumer demands by removing GE ingredients from their products. You can help by asking copanies with red-listed brands to adopt a non-GE policy. For further information, visit www.truefood.org.au True Food Guide proudly supported by the Melbourne Community Foundation rmg account. 23 March 2009 2:10 PM GE free ✔ May contain GE ✘ Green GE-free brands are rated green. Red Brands that may include GE-derived These companies have a clear policy on ingredients in their products are rated red. excluding GE-derived ingredients, including This includes brands that either: oils derived from GE crops, and animal • contain GE derived ingredients; and/or products from animals fed on GE crops.
