The Center for Food Safety sent the following petition request in honor of Valentine's Day:

"As a Valentine to Consumers, 73 Companies Pledge Not to Use Sugar from Monsanto’s Roundup Ready Sugar Beets - Tell Hershey's and Mars to Sign!

Today the Center for Food Safety, along with environmental and corporate watchdog groups, launched the Non-Genetically Modified (GM) Beet Sugar Registry, documenting commitments from over seventy grocery chains and food producers including Organic Valley not to use or sell GM beet sugar. This call to halt the introduction of GM sugar beets into the food supply comes on the heels of public outcry over mercury contamination of our nation’s dominant sweetener – high fructose corn syrup – and on the eve of the year’s sweetest holiday – Valentine’s Day."

Take action by telling Mars and Hershey's to sign the Non-GM Beet Sugar Registry: Sign the petition.
