January 24, 2026: Health Canada has just approved a gene-edited pig for human consumption but the meat from these genetically engineered (genetically modified or GM) animals will not be labelled for consumers.

Demand mandatory labelling of GM foods in Canada. All foods from genetically modified plants and animals needs to be labelled, this should include the new genetic engineering techniques of gene-editing. A public opinion poll in October 2025 found that 83% of Canadians want mandatory labelling. Help advocate for transparency and choice in our food system.
