TAKE ACTION: Boycott Smuckers, R.W. Knudsen and Santa Cruz Organic!

That Santa Cruz Organic© applesauce and peanut butter you’re feeding your kids? Although by law they can't contain genetically engineered ingredients, they might contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs), according to a Santa Cruz customer service representative. The profoundly misinformed rep also wrongly told us that “the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have determined that existing biotech foods are safe and do not differ in any meaningful way from other food.” Really? And how did these agencies “determine” all this? By asking Monsanto, and then taking the biotech bully’s word for it.

Santa Cruz Organic and R.W. Knudsen are both owned by the J.M. Smucker Co., which contributed $555,000 to the $46-million war chest that helped narrowly defeat Prop 37, the California citizens’ initiative that would have required mandatory labeling of GMOs. Whose side were R.W. Knudsen and Santa Cruz Organics on during the GMO labeling battle? Not ours.
