NSW: Bondi launches GE free campaign

Sydney's famous Bondi is using its high profile to highlight concerns over genetically
engineered food.

A coalition of environment and ethics groups has launched the GE Free Bondi campaign
in a bid to encourage local businesses to identify GE-free food on their menus.

Waverley Council Mayor PAUL PEARCE says the campaign aims to help consumers eliminate
GE food from their diet.

Mr PEARCE says several restaurants and shops in Bondi are already displaying Eat GE-Free,
Bondi 2000 signs.

He says people buying takeaway or eating in restaurants have more difficulty in establishing
whether the food they're about to eat is GE free.
