Do any Morrisons foods contain genetically modified ingredients?
We excluded Genetically Modified (GM) ingredients and derivatives from our own-brand products a number of years ago. We do not have any own-brand GM foods on our shelves and nor do we intend to stock them. We have a comprehensive and continuous product-sampling programme in place to help monitor this. In addition, we do not accept products from cloned or GM animals.
How much of Morrisons food is sourced in Britain?
When the quality, quantity and value are there we will always source British first. We have consistently sought to work with the British farming industry to source as much produce as possible from UK farmers and growers. Support for the British farming industry is of particular importance to us as we are closer to source than any other retailer. Read more about our commitment to British, regional and local sourcing.
