GE FOODS IN AUSTRALIA

I try and buy only organic food. It's hard and expensive. But sometimes the convinces of the modern world can win out, and it's handy to know what has been GM or not. Some things i just cant find organic and some things are just waaaaaaay too expensive to buy organic, so I use this guide to help me make the right choice about my food source. This is why I am passionate about growing my own open pollinated heirloom veggies! This guide enables you to chose food that are non-GE and outlines companies that may use GE ingredients in their products.
