Deadline November 25, 2011

Stop Canada from legalizing contamination from unapproved GM foods. Write to Agriculture Canada from the online form at http://www.cban.ca/llpaction

The Canadian Government is proposing to allow contamination of our food supply with genetically engineered foods that have not been approved for safe eating in Canada. Agriculture Canada has opened a comment period until November 25, 2011.

The Canadian government wants to allow a percent, 0.1% or higher, of our food to be contaminated with genetically modified (GM, also called genetically engineered) foods that have not been approved by Health Canada for safe human consumption. The GM foods will have been approved for safety in at least one other country but not yet evaluated as safe by our own regulators. The federal government calls this "Low Level Presence" or LLP and argues that this "low level" of contamination from unapproved GM foods is not harmful.
