services - food safety - GM Foods

At Wilson (Sloane Street) Limited we recognise our customers’ concern about the use of Genetically Modified (GM) ingredients in food. This includes concerns over potential food safety issues and the environmental impact that may be caused by the growing of GM crops.

Our ongoing Food Safety Policy is to ensure the food we produce and sell to our customers is both safe and wholesome. Therefore until proven and recognised scientific evidence becomes available to restore customer confidence in the safety of GM foods, we will not knowingly use genetically modified ingredients.

We are therefore working very closely with our nominated suppliers requiring them to take reasonable steps to stop the use of GM ingredients in the products they supply to us. Many have already removed GM ingredients or are obtaining suitable non-GM alternatives.

We will endeavour at all times to not knowingly use GM ingredients in the food we produce and sell. In the circumstances where the known use of GM ingredients by Wilsons is unavoidable then our customers will be kept fully informed by our staff in line with current food labelling legislation.
