Greenpeace – shoppers' guide to GM foods
The environmental campaigning group, Greenpeace, has established a site which contains information for consumers on the usage of genetically-modified food sources in the production of specific food products on sale in the United Kingdom.
The list on this site divides by a colour code:
Red – if positive for GM ingredients.
Yellow – if the company concerned is working towards removal of GM-sourced ingredients.
Green – for products confirmed as non-GM
