What to Eat, How to Shop

If you really want to avoid the influence of genetic engineering,

buy fresh organic produce. If you want to buy processed foods and

avoid genetically engineered ingredients, you will have to read

product labels.

 

If the label mentions any of the ingredients listed

below without explicitly qualifying it as organic, then the product

probably contains genetically engineered ingredients.

 

Primary Suspects: Ingredients and Products to Check

 

Soybeans:

Soy flour, soy oil, lecithin, soy protein isolates and

concentrates. Products that may contain genetically engineered soy

derivatives: vitamin E, tofu dogs, cereals, veggie burgers and

sausages, tamari, soy sauce, chips, ice cream, frozen yogurt, infant

formula, sauces, protein powder, margarine, soy cheeses, crackers,

breads, cookies, chocolates, candies, fried foods, shampoo, bubble

bath, cosmetics, enriched flours and pastas.

 

Corn:

Corn flour, corn starch, corn oil, corn sweeteners, syrups.

Products that may contain genetically engineered corn derivatives:

vitamin C, tofu dogs, chips, candies, ice cream, infant formula,

salad dressings, tomato sauces, breads, cookies, cereals, baking

powder, alcohol, vanilla, margarine, soy sauce, tamari, soda, fried

foods, powdered sugar, enriched flours and pastas.

 

Canola:

Oil. Products that may contain genetically engineered canola

derivatives: chips, salad dressings, cookies, margarine, soaps,

detergents, soy cheeses, fried foods.

 

Cotton:

Oil, fabric. Products that may contain genetically

engineered cotton or its derivatives: clothes, linens, chips, peanut

butter, crackers, cookies.

 

Potatoes:

Products that may contain genetically engineered potatoes or

derivatives:

unspecified processed or restaurant potato products (fries, mashed,

baked, mixes, etc.),

chips, Passover products, vegetable pies, soups. look out for potato

starch and flour as well.

 

Dairy Products:

Milk, cheese, butter, buttermilk, sour cream,

yogurt, whey. You have to ask several questions when you are looking

at dairy products. Have the cows been treated with rBGH? What kind

of feed have they been given? If they are not being fed organic

grains, chances are quite likely that they will be eating

genetically engineered animal feed. What does this do to their milk

products? No one knows.

 

Animal Products:

Because animal feed often contains genetically

engineered organisms, all animal products, or by-products may be

affected.

 

Papaya.

 

Please note that a food may contain some of these items and yet be

free from genetically engineered organisms, but we have no way of

knowing without tracking down every brand, every product and every

ingredient.

Even reading labels is no guarantee that you will be

able to avoid genetically engineered ingredients, because

manufacturers are not required to list every little ingredient,

enzyme or organism used in the manufacturing process.

 

The following products may also be genetically altered, contain or

originate from genetically engineered organisms:

candies, cookies, breads, cereals, corn syrups, oils, juices,

detergents, dough conditioners, yeast,

sugar, animal feed, vitamins and enzymes used in the processing of

cheese.
