Upholding Annie's Standards: General Mills
- Supermarket News, Thursday, October 2, 2014 9:41 AM
Customers of organic, non-GMO food brand Annie's are running an online petition to get new owner General Mills to pledge to uphold the brand's homegrown organic standards. Despite a promise from the company, the petition authors fear General Mills will add genetically modified ingredients to the macaroni mix. "Annie's is on the record as supporting GMO labeling and General Mills is not, so there is kind of a conflict in ethics when it comes to GMOs," noted Julie Mastrine, spokeswoman for Care 2, the company that hosts the site on which the petition was created.
