Got an email from Campbells Soup; if anyone wants to use this for a meme to spread everywhere knock yourself out! Thank you for taking the time to get in touch with us about food ingredients derived with the help of biotechnology, also called “GMOs.” We value you as a consumer, and we appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts about this subject. Campbell Company of Canada has a long history of producing high quality products that meet the highest food safety standards. We have prided ourselves on our ability to develop and manufacture these products in accordance with all applicable national, regional and local laws and regulations regarding the production of high quality food products. It is our stated goal and ongoing practice to rely on scientific evidence to determine that our products are safe and to have in place effective supplier quality systems that ensure delivery of safe ingredients for use in our products. Campbells use of foods derived from plant biotechnology is limited to some ingredients derived from sugar beets, corn, soybeans and rapeseed, or canola. Much of the current global supply of these ingredients includes a mix of genetically and non-genetically modified crops. These ingredients have the same composition and provide the same nutrition as their conventional counterparts. Genetically modified corn and soybeans have been used safely for many years. We recognize that the subject of genetic modification is currently a matter of intense public debate. It is our belief that genetically modified food ingredients will continue to be recognized as safe. At Campbell, we strive to deliver products that will delight you every time you choose them, and we hope that this letter helps clarify our position and practice regarding biotech-derived ingredients in our foods.
