Goodman Fielder, the company that makes popular brands like Meadow Lea margarine, is one of the biggest buyers of canola oil in Australia. Up until now, they have been Green in our True Food Guide. But Goodman Fielder’s non-GE policy is currently under threat, because the giant, pro-GE multinational company, Cargill, is taking over a part of Goodman Fielder’s business.

Goodman Fielder has assured Greenpeace that they will maintain a non-GE policy for their retail brands like Meadow Lea and Crisco Canola Oil. But to make sure this actually happens, they need to make it legal - by putting a non-GE declaration in their contract with Cargill that requires Cargill to supply them with clean, green, non-GE canola oil.

Internationally, Cargill has a checkered environmental record, not only on GE but also on palm oil, which the company currently sources from plantations linked to deforestation in Indonesia.

Let Goodman Fielder know that you want them to maintain their current non-GE policy by using the companies jingle for Meadow Lea margarine, 'You ought to be congratulated,' in your email subject line.

Some points you could include:

- I'm writing to congratulate Goodman Fielder on its non-GE policy, which reflects that the majority of consumers reject GE ingredients.

- I want Goodman Fielder's non-GE policy to stay.

- As a consumer, I want Goodman Fielder to secure it's non-GE policy by demanding non-GE canola oil from the new owner of its oil refining business

- As a consumer, I would be concerned if Goodman Fielder started to buy palm oil from Cargill, because of the companies role in deforestation in Indonesia
