Japanese consumers are pleading with the Australian government to ban genetically modified (GM) canola. The Consumers Union of Japan (CUJ), which has 1,250 organisations representing more than two million Japanese shoppers, will meet with the Australian Embassy in Tokyo to ask for the ban on Thursday. ”We need you to keep supplying us with GM-free,” CUJ spokeswoman Michiyo Koketsu said.
