> > This newsletter is being sent out to all past supporters of GE Food

> > Alert campaigns. It provides information on our current activities and

> > news about the issue of genetically engineered foods.

> > KRAFT CAMPAIGN LAUNCH

> >

> > On February 6, Genetically Engineered Food Alert, along with thousands

> > of concerned citizens and organizations across the country, launched a

> > campaign calling on Kraft Foods to remove genetically engineered

> > ingredients from their foods. The campaign was launched with press

> > conferences in Kraft's headquarter cities of Chicago and New York, and

> > with leafleting and demonstrations in over 170 cities across the

> > country. The launch of the campaign was featured in the Wall Street

> > Journal, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Boston Herald, and on

> > nationwide radio and television news including CNN Headline News

> > (articles found below). The launch made such a splash that Kraft

> > executives were busy all day responding to reporters, and then Kraft

> > called us that same day. We are working now to try to get a meeting

> > with the company so that we can discuss our concerns with them.

> >

> > Thank you to everyone who participated in events and sent e-mails in to

> > Kraft. Stay tuned for upcoming events to continue to call on Kraft to

> > remove untested, unlabeled genetically engineered foods from their

> > products.

> >

> >

> > JOIN THE KRAFT CAMPAIGN!
