Leading Organic & Natural Foods Retailer & Wholesale Distributor Will Test All Their Private Brand Labels for GMO Contamination
This is an opportunity to make some significant changes Since GMO is infiltrating the non-GMO organic foods, measurements and testing will tell a story. Whole Foods private label, Eden foods and Lundberg Farm are all on board with this testing. The fact that they are finding GMO in fields and countries where it has not been planted nor is wanted is awful. Monsanto is going after small farmers telling them that they are owed compensation when the farmer doesn't want the modified crop, and the land is now contaminated! It is an outrage! Many farmers have lost their livelihoods, long time family farms and dignity after being crushed by the Monsanto Giant.
