The Naturopathic Hub

💥 Let's mobilise! 💥We need as many people as possible to make submissions to Food Standards Australia NZ (FSANZ) by 10 September.

👉 FSANZ is proposing to exempt gene editing so it's not regulated as GE! This would mean GE food ingredients would sneak into our food without us knowing. We say NO! We need robust regulation, safety assessments, labelling and consumer choice.

⬇️ Click here for submission guidelines, and to read our submission. We urge you to write in your OWN WORDS in order for it to be counted as an individual submission. How would this affect you and your family? Your business? Your community?
