The free guide reveals which food companies may be using genetically engineered (GE) ingredients in their products and which are not, by rating them according to their policies on using GE ingredients.
Over 170 food companies and 400 products are classified in three categories:
Green: companies that have given written assurance that they are not using GE ingredients anywhere in the food chain.
Orange: companies that are committed to removing GE ingredients and are in the process of doing so.

By GlobalDataRed: companies that have no policy to remove GE derived ingredients, including those from animals fed GE feed, and companies that did not respond adequately to Greenpeace enquiries.
According to recent market research, 68% of Australians would be less likely to buy a food if they knew it was genetically engineered (Taylor Nelson Sofres, April 2002).
“These figures prove that most Australians don’t want to eat GE foods” said Greenpeace campaigner Tina Meckel. “But up until now they’ve had no way of knowing how to avoid them. Now that the True Food Guide is available, we have been inundated with requests from thousands of shoppers. This massive response speaks for itself”.
