Sierra Club Targets Kraft

rBGH treated cowsThe Sierra Club has launched a campaign against genetically engineered foods. We're targeting Kraft Foods, which is the largest packaged food producer in America.

We’re asking Kraft to remove all genetically engineered products from their foods. This includes not using milk from rBGH-treated cows (the U.S. is the only industrialized nation that permits this practice) and not using genetically engineered (GE) corn, potatoes, soy and so forth.


What you can do

Tell Kraft that you, like the majority of Americans, want GE free foods!

  • Write to Irene Rosenfeld, CEO of Kraft Foods, Inc., 3 Lakes Drive, Northfield IL 60093
  • Call 1-800-847-1997
