In March, Friends of the Earth launched the Campaign for Genetically Engineered-Free Seafood, and we hit the ground running!

Major grocery stores such as Aldi, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s,and Marsh have committed to not sell genetically engineered seafood, and last week Target, Giant Eagle, and H-E-B joined that list. Now there are more than 4,400 grocery stores across the United States whose seafood will be GE-Free!

Now Kroger, the nation’s largest grocery store chain, has made a statement too -- they told consumers they have “no intention” of selling genetically engineered salmon, but also left the door open to sell it if it’s approved by FDA.




Can you take action today and let Kroger know you do not want to see genetically engineered seafood in its stores and demand that it sign the Pledge for GE-Free Seafood?

We know Kroger can and should do better and follow the lead of its major competitors with a firm commitment to not sell genetically engineered seafood in its 3,500 grocery stores across the United States, including Ralphs, Fred Meyer, GFC and Food 4 Less. As we all know, “intentions” can change and we need strong company policies to protect our oceans from the risks of genetically engineered fish.

Until 2014's midterm election, pressuring grocers to ban their stores from selling any GE food, be it GMO grain or GE seafood is where the fight to rid our food supply of these frankenfoods need to stay focused.

Believe it or not, people are turning against frankenfood in masses. I hope this will become a huge factor in 2014 that will push those fed-up with frankenfood to turn out and vote for pols that will vote to ban that shit.

5. Most people who go to a Kroger will never get fresh seafood anyway

Sad they have to engineer everything we eat, sad.

I've got my fingers and toes crossed they can win this fight. If the frankenfish get through it's just a matter of time before every product in the store is GE or GMO. It is a national health crisis and really really horrifying.
