More than 50 of Australia’s top chefs have united to protest the introduction of genetically modified (GM) food crops to their country.
GM canola crops were recently planted for the first time in New South Wales and Victoria after the two states let their bans on genetically engineered food crops expire.
Local celebrity chefs, including Neil Perry and Kylie Kwong, have signed on to the GM Free Chefs' Charter, which calls for the two state governments to reverse their position on growing GM canola, and demands thorough labeling of all food products that contain GM ingredients.
