[asia-apec 1733] Trader Joe's GMOs - From Greenpeace USA

[Anuradha Mittal]

Greetings to all

The press conference at Trader Joe's Headquarters in Los Angeles
is currently going on. We tested products from Trader Joe's and
found their cornmeal breadmix tested positive for GMOs.  Hence
we are asking them to follow the lead of their parent company, Aldi,
and announce a GMO free policy.  Please help us put pressure on
this supermarket and call or fax today.    Thanks.

 National Call-In and Fax-In Day to Trader Joe's  TODAY :::
_______________________________________________________

On Thursday, February 15th, Greenpeace, GE Free L.A., Sierra
Club Sustainable Food Task Force - Los Angeles chapter, and
Community Alliance with Family Farmers (CAFF) will be
holding a press conference in front of Trader Joe's
corporate headquarters to make an important announcement
regarding their use of genetically engineered ingredients.

Your support is urgently needed!

Call or fax Mr. Dan Bane, CEO of Trader Joe's, on Thursday,
February 15th, and tell him to eliminate genetically
engineered ingredients from Trader Joe's store brand
products, just as their parent company in Europe, Aldi's,
has already done. In the United States, Whole Foods and
Wild Oats markets have already committed to eliminating
genetically engineered ingredients from their store brands,
if these national chains can do it, so can Trader Joe's!
