105 groups call on Health Minister @jyduclos & #Agriculture Minister @mclaudebibeau to ensure transparency and government oversight of all #GMOs. #NoExemptions. Safety review for all gene-edited #GMO foods & seeds. #NoRegulationNoTrust #cdnpoli #CdnAg https://t.co/XZbt4lllGZ

One of the central issues of our successful High Court challenge of the Genetic Technology Regulations was the government’s lack of meaningful engagement with the public and meaningful action to ensure that public views shaped the Regulations. This story in the Ecologist provides some fascinating insights into citizen views - will government (& the FSA) pay attention now? Read and share https://t.co/Xcd0HLSPpL

We're celebrating! 🎉🎉 We've had a significant win in our high court challenge the precision bred GMO regulations. The court has ruled that the Defra Minister's decision not to label PBOs in the food chain was unlawful. Read the full story: https://t.co/Tr4DdgMDm6

Which #GMOs foods are on the market in Canada? Its time for mandatory labelling of genetically modified foods for transparency and choice. https://t.co/wXSaebYJuZ #labelGMOs #ProtectOurProduce @InspectionCan @loblawco @LoblawsON @RealCdnSS @RealAtlanticSS @CPMA_ACDFL

The GE purple "Empress" tomato = four genetically engineered whole foods #GMOs sometimes appearing in produce sections in Canada: GE purple tomato, GE sweetcorn, GE papaya, GE pink pineapple. @VitalityOnline @CPMA_ACDFL #CPMA2026 #freshproduce #labelGMOs https://t.co/8uSb8kGPQB

Today in Toronto. Join the action. Ask Loblaw @loblawco to remove genetically engineered #GMO purple tomatoes from stores. No clear labelling = no clear choice. #GMOs out of produce sections @loblaws @LoblawsON @RealAtlanticSS #labelGMOs #ProtectOurProduce https://t.co/gK0HmJjBbw

[Cdn Biotech Action @biotechaction]

Genetically modified purple tomatoes found in @loblawco stores in Ontario & Nova Scotia. No clear labelling, no clear choice. Keep #GMOs out of our produce sections @loblaws @LoblawsON @RealAtlanticSS #labelGMOs #ProtectOurProduce https://t.co/XXGJbRC8i1

[Cdn Biotech Action @biotechaction]

Alert! Unlabelled #GMO purple tomatoes discovered at many Loblaw stores in Ontario & Nova Scotia. Tell @LoblawsON @RealAtlanticSS @loblawco to keep genetically modified fruit & veg out of stores. #ProtectOurProduce #labelGMOs #DontShopRedSun @ShopRedSun https://t.co/XXGJbRC8i1

[Cdn Biotech Action @biotechaction]

Today is "Fresh Tomato Day"! Stop #GMO tomatoes. @costcocanada keep genetically modified fruit & veg out of stores. #ProtectOurProduce #labelGMOs #FreshTomatoDay #DontShopRedSun @ShopRedSun @JulieDaniluk @OntFruitVeg @HalfYourPlate @greenhousecan https://t.co/XJpfoZsfPw

Government closure of Canadian General Standards Board without new standard for voluntary #GMO labelling? “The biotech industry wasn’t pleased with the revised standard because they wanted to label gene-edited foods as non-genetically engineered.” Release: https://t.co/RTqtZSOIYl

[Cdn Biotech Action @biotechaction]

Groups demand mandatory labelling of #GMOs as Health Canada commits to the "highest level of transparency" on recently approved genetically engineered pig. Press release: https://t.co/pKqmxVCtBt

[Cdn Biotech Action @biotechaction]

@dotcomnieuws no - not yet approved in the UK

[Cdn Biotech Action @biotechaction]

A gene-edited pig has been approved for eating in Canada but if it enters the market the meat from these genetically modified organisms #GMOs will not be labelled. Take action today at https://t.co/pGp23AQDcQ

[Cdn Biotech Action @biotechaction]

Backlash to Health Canada’s approval of gene-edited #GMO pigs for eating: “There is a transparency crisis in our food system.” Press release: https://t.co/M2VGBe7x7a @CdnPressNews @newedist @nationalpost @winnipegsun @FoodProfessor @duBreton @NHF_Magazine @OntarioPork @CanadaPork

[Cdn Biotech Action @biotechaction]

Health Canada has just approved a gene-edited pig for human consumption. The food products will not be labelled. Demand mandatory labelling at https://t.co/pGp23AQ5ni

[GMWatch @GMWatch]

Detection of genome-edited organisms with subtle mutations is possible. The method was able to detect the presence of a new #GMO even at very low levels of 0.9-0.1%. This would be sensitive enough to detect cases of unintended contamination. https://t.co/tRx0QfoKAn

[Cdn Biotech Action @biotechaction]

Farmers in Canada are concerned about #GMO vegetable seeds that could soon be on the market. Biotech companies are preparing to sell #GMO seeds to small growers and home gardeners for the first time. Press release: https://t.co/SVTSWwceqS

Influential study on #glyphosate safety retracted 25 yrs after publication. The widely cited study, which concluded glyphosate was safe, has just been officially disavowed. The scientists are suspected of having signed a text actually prepared by #Monsanto https://t.co/TnQl71p0aV
