The
issues surrounding Genetically Modified Ingredients and
their use in Food products continues to be debated because
of the uncertainty and unpredictability of such ingredients.
Under the Food labelling regulations March 1999, Trading
Standards Officers have the power to ensure that all food
establishments are declaring modified ingredients.
JW Fidler & Sons Limited is highly committed to assisting our
customers in identifying products that contain GM ingredients.
However, given the complexity and fragmentation of supply
chains used by a company such as JW Fidler & Sons Limited,
it is becoming increasingly difficult to give absolute assurances
concerning the use of GM Food or derivatives of GM crops
at some point in any given supply chain. As a part of our ongoing policy it is important that our
customers are assured that this continuous and complex process
will be followed stringently.
In regard to labelling requirements
we shall as necessary, adopt a policy of disclosing in full
any GM Food ingredients or derivatives of GM corps that
might apply to the food items that we supply for public
consumption.
We have compiled a GM status list of all products that we
supply. If there are any queries concerning specific products
please do not hesitate to contact customer service on 0160
832 3718 who will be more than pleased to assist you.
Finally JW Fidler & Sons Limited would like to assure
our customers that we constantly endeavour to keep abreast
of all Food Legislation and Food Safety issues to ensure
that the products available adhere to strict codes of practice
and are of the highest standard.
