Greenpeace raises alarm about GM Easter chocolate

by Joe DiStefano, Posted Apr 10th 2006 @ 10:09AM

Greenpeace has issued a warning regarding chocolate Easter eggs. According to the environmental group, some confectioners use genetically engineered ingredients and/or dairy from animals raised on genetically engineered feedstock. The group is rightfully concerned about potential health risks.

One of the makers it has called to task is Cadbury. Among the Easter egg makers it considers friendly are Darrell Lea and Ferrero Rocher. While I'm skeptical of any so-called Frankenfoods, I'm rather conflicted now that I've seen the Cadbury Easter Egg Delight. It's the Russian nesting doll of candy – an outer egg encases an inner one, which is in turn filled with individual chocolates. I think I'll take my chances!
