Consumers have the power to make sure that our supermarkets and restaurants remain GE-free. Now that the new and much stricter labelling legislation is in place, with your help we can find the products containing GMOs and name and shame them for everyone to see. Companies will try to smuggle GE labelled products into European supermarkets. The more people that help to reject the products, the easier it will be to maintain our right to say NO to GMOs.
Consumers inform consumers: Print out our information flyer and hand it to your family, friends and neighbours. See if you can get leave copies of it with favourite shops, restaurants or at your doctor's office.
Print out the handy credit card size information card, fold it and glue it together. This card is a useful reminder of what you should do when you find a labelled product.
For the downloadable stickers you will need to buy "Zweckform" 3658 parcel labels(or any labels in a similar format 63,5mm x 33,9mm). Please remember not to cover any important health and safety information on any foodstuffs and always ask permission before stickering someone else's property. There are two sticker sets. Click on the one you want to download.

Become a Gene Detective and join our Trolley Watch: Whenever you go shopping, have a close look at the ingredients list on the packaging. If you find a GE labelled product, note down the product details, ideally take a picture, inform the Greenpeace GE campaigner in your country and, if possible, upload the picture on our website. We very much appreciate your support because it will be essential to keep consumers all over Europe informed! You can see products already identified in your country here.
Return – Replace – Refund: If you unknowingly buy a GE labelled product, you should take it back to your retailer and ask for a non-GE replacement or a refund. Get all of your friends to do it as well. Why not go together to make your point more forcefully – the more the better! But remember to check out your store's or even your country's refund policy first - we wouldn't want you to waste your money.
Speak out against GE food: Send a protest letter to your retailer or food producer to demand for GE-free food. Simply save the letters in this pack, write in the retailer or food producer´s name and address and put them in the post. You will find contact details of food producers on the packaging. Most retailers have a customer service in their stores so you can also leave your protest letter there. Why not also write a letter to your local newspaper and encourage a local debate, maybe you could get the whole community involved.
