Last month, GM canola crops were planted for the first time in NSW and Victoria after the two states announced they would let their bans on genetically engineered food crops expire. In response, local celebrity chefs including Neil Perry and Kylie Kwong have signed on to the GM Free Chefs’ Charter, launched in collaboration with Greenpeace in Sydney. The charter, unveiled at chef Jared Ingersoll’s Danks Street Depot restaurant in the inner-city Sydney suburb of Waterloo, calls for the NSW and Victorian governments to reverse their position on growing GM canola and demands thorough labelling of all food products that contain GM ingredients.
