Our principles are simple; we trace it, so you can trust it. And even when we have to make difficult decisions, you can be totally confident that we will tell you about them.
Today, alongside many other retailers, we have written to our suppliers to tell them that we will no longer stipulate the use of non-GM feed in our fresh meat supply chain.
This change in policy is absolutely necessary because there is now a much reduced supply of non-GM feed available to UK farmers.
As such we can now no longer guarantee that our fresh meat has been fed on a non-GM diet. Our organic fresh meat ranges will still be available to customers who want to consider an alternative option.
We can assure you that this will not affect the quality or provenance of the food that you buy from M&S which will continue to be produced to the high standards that you expect from us. And our commitment to only using non-GM food ingredients remains unchanged.
