This is a short post to share with
you something that I discovered while at the grocery store. As a lover of
sardines, I have a large quantity in our family's food storage. My favorite is
the Beach Cliff Fish Steaks. The larger types are just as flavorful, but you
just have to cut them up.
When I was at Wal-Mart a few days
ago, I stopped to check the best by dates of the current Beach Cliff products on
the shelves. Sometimes those dates are found on the top of the can and
sometimes the bottom. Since it's easier to read the date when it's on the
bottom of the can because there's no other labeling there to make it difficult,
I automatically look there first. I turned the can over and I was shocked by
what I read!
"Partially produced with genetic
engineering."
This particular can was processed in Canada.
This particular can was processed in Poland.
So no matter where it's processed, they have changed its composition and now it's come to this, that the lowly
sardine is now contaminated by mankind!
Since I have many dozens of cans of
sardines in my family's food storage, when I got home I immediately checked all
my cans in order to make sure no genetically modified sardines had slipped in
there, and thankfully there weren't any.
I, for one, won't be buying any
more Beach Cliff Sardines for my family. You might want to check yours to be
sure they aren't GMO. If I had found any, I would have returned them to the
store and exchanged them for something else.
Have a safe prepping day!
