UK supermarkets urged to label food that isn't GM

Excerpts from the article published on gmwatch.org:

• 70% of the meat and dairy you buy in supermarkets are coming from animals that are fed GM feed.
• The world's second biggest chain, Carrefour launches a new system to mark out such products.  It's gonna be a green stamp saying "Nourri sans OGM" to label animal products such as meat and dairy. 
• 96% of consumers want honest labeling
• 63% of consumers would not buy animals products that are coming from GM fed animals.
• Scientists have found fragments of GM DNA from GM animal feed in products like milk.
• An enzyme, lactic dehydrogenase, was found at significantly raised levels in the heart, muscle, and kidneys of kids fed GM RR soya. This enzyme leaks from damaged cells and can indicate inflammatory or other cellular injury.
• Read Peter Melchett's letter (Soil Association) to Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, Waitrose and M&S.

This article is proof that here in Europe we have already had GM for years! God knows how long. In the US, organizations who want GM out of the food supply, always mention the EU as a good example of being GM free. This is sadly not true. At the moment we buy mostly organic, as much as possible, but we will keep on eye on this new labeling system in Carrefour, I want to see it happening.

We need proper labeling on all food products! From July this year, GM maize/corn can be legally imported into the EU for consumption, for animal feed and for processing. EU officials say it is safe. If it is safe, I doubt that they will label it. If one GM product is announced to be safe, what will stop the rest from entering the EU? Nothing..

I do hope that Carrefour's approach to GM is genuine and I do hope that other supermarket chains will follow suit!
