Independent supermarket chain Foodland will not use genetically modified (GM) ingredients in its own range of products following feedback from customers. The company, which operates 109 stores in South Australia, the Northern Territory and New South Wales, has also called for better labelling laws to ensure consumers can make an informed choice on whether or not to buy any goods that contain GM ingredients. Foodland SA chief executive Russell Markham said customers had overwhelmingly indicated they did not want GM ingredients in any of the chain’s 160 Foodland-branded products.
