The largest Kraft production plant in the world is located on West Bradley Avenue in Champaign. I thought there might be local people interested in this action. Contact information is included in the article. If anyone knows of any local planning to participate in this action, please post information here as a comment or as a new article announcing it. |
The OCA, along with the GE Food Alert (GEFA) network is coordinating a nationwide Week of Action to pressure Kraft foods, the world's largest food distributor (and offshoot of the tobacco giant Phillip Morris), into going GE-free. We've been watching Kraft closely for more than two years, since we found illegal traces of Starlink corn in their Taco Bell
products (a genetically modified corn that the USDA has deemed unsafe for human consumption), forcing them into a multimillion dollar recall of their tainted products.
Rallies and leafleting events will be held at Kraft production facilities and grocery stores across the U.S. during the week of October 25 through November 1. We've made it incredibly easy for you to get involved locally. Take 30 seconds and sign up here:
