See how our governments have been duped about the promise of GM food in a revealing article by Charles Rue. 

In a letter to the State Premiers, Goodman Fielder, one of the largest end users of canola in Australia, warned that "consumers are increasingly concerned about the uncertainty surrounding the possible long-term effects of consuming genetically modified material".

Goodman Fielder owns brands including Meadow Lea, Praise, White Wings, and Helga's, and believes that "in a world of ever increasing globalisation, Australia's current status as a GM-free producer gives the company an essential international competitive advantage."
