GMO activist group sets sights on milk at Starbucks
The group pressured General Mills to drop genetically modified ingredients in Cheerios.
Having successfully pushed General Mills to drop genetically modified ingredients in Cheerios, Green America is targeting coffee retailer Starbucks Corp. In a press release today, Green America said it is calling on the Seattle-based coffee giant "to stop sourcing milk from cows fed genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in feed, including corn, soy, alfalfa, and cottonseed, and to use a third-party verifier to ensure that the milk used at Starbucks stores is, in fact, sourced from cows eating non-GMO feed."
