WE ARE A GIANT EXPERIMENT 

Research in the field of Genetic Engineering (GE) has now reached a level where its applications are having enormous effects on a global scale. SAFeAGE is committed to ensuring that consumers are made aware of the dangers and threats of GMO's. We are further lobbying Government to adopt the precautionary principle at the very least, and at best, seek alternate, more sustainable methods of food production and farming. We would further like to impose a moratorium on all new imports and releases of GMO's until such time as sufficient, independent testing of the effects of GMOs in food and farming are proven safe. 

As an NGO representing the South African public, we are seriously concerned about the lack of both public involvement, and risk assessment in the face of high levels of corporate secrecy and non-disclosure. Most of all we are concerned about the total lack of any kind of traceability and accountability on the part of the manufacturers of these products. 

We invite you to join our labeling campaign (go to 'Join Mailing List' above) - and exercise your democratic right to ensure a choice remains regarding the purchasing of products free of GE ingredients and derivatives.
