Environmental Protection Organization Requests Chinese Supermarkets to Suspend Genetically Modified Products

One week prior to the official implementation of the "Food Safety Law," Greenpeace launched the first round of direct offensives on supermarkets.

Today, Greenpeace staff and volunteers came to the Lotus Store Chengfu Road Store, Lotus Lotus, and submitted an open letter demanding that Lotus and other large supermarket chains immediately stop disregarding consumer health and promised to provide “no pesticide, no genetic modification”. Fruit and vegetable products.

As early as April, Greenpeace discovered more than 10 kinds of pesticide residues on various fruits and vegetables sold in well-known large-scale supermarkets such as Lotus at the beginning of the survey, including high-toxic pesticides and illegal pesticides that the country has banned, even on certain products. Residues of pesticides that may cause cancer and cause endocrine disruptions that affect reproductive ability. Domestically produced papayas sold at these supermarkets have also been tested to contain genetically modified ingredients that may make consumers resistant to antibiotics. Greenpeace informed major supermarkets in the first instance and hoped that they would value and respect consumer health and make changes. What is disappointing is that these supermarkets have turned a deaf ear to consumer demand. For more than a month, major supermarket chains, including Lotus, Wal-Mart, China Resources Vanguard, etc., have still not ignored it and refused to take measures to protect consumer health and food safety.

In the open letter, Greenpeace requested that large supermarket chains such as Lotus, Wal-Mart, Carrefour and China Resources Vanguard immediately respect consumer health requirements and promised to use processed foods with their own brand instead of genetically modified raw materials and not to sell genetically modified fresh food. , Committed to reducing the amount of pesticides used in the production of fruits and vegetables sold to help its suppliers and manufacturers reduce the use of pesticides. Supermarkets need to establish an effective supply chain monitoring system, including the establishment of traceability mechanisms to strengthen the detection of genetically modified and pesticide residues, strengthen the management of suppliers and supply chains, and ensure that consumers can understand GM foods and The related situation of pesticide residues.

Today, more and more consumers choose to go to the supermarket to buy fresh fruits and vegetables because they trust the supermarket. Many supermarket chains cover a large number of people in different cities and therefore have more responsibilities that should not be shirked. Consumers have the right to enjoy healthy foods and have the right to request supermarkets to provide safe food. Since the discovery of the problem, through the exposure of major news media and websites, tens of thousands of consumers have already paid close attention to this issue.

The “Food Safety Law” to be implemented on June 1st one week later added new contents of “punitive damages system” and “problem food recall system”. Consumers can more effectively protect themselves by applying for compensation and reporting food problems. Enjoy safe food and protect your health.

The action took place on the weekend, and the supermarket shopping crowds were bustling. The location was at the entrance of the Lotus supermarket. The volunteers made the information of these unsafe vegetables and fruits into a Shanshan supermarket promotional leaflet and distributed it to the consumers so that everyone could be wary of the fruits and vegetables they bought. Health risks come. In order to avoid negative impacts, the relevant person in charge of the Lotus supermarket immediately invited Greenpeace workers to talk. After liaising with the headquarters, he confirmed that he promised to reply to the open letter of consumers and Greenpeace next week.
