Anti genetic modification lobby group
Gene Ethics has launched a new national register of GM-free goods, services and locations.
Gene Ethics director Bob Phelps, says the interactive register is designed to be a public service, "particularly to help shoppers find and support GM-free products and services".
"The enterprises on the google map are committed to excluding anything made using Genetic Manipulation techniques from their products, services and facilities.
"GM products may include GM soy or corn imported mainly to feed animals, or Australian GM canola or cottonseed products.
"The growing number of local government areas with GM-free policies are also listed.
"We also note that most of Australia remains GM-free, including Tasmania, South Australia, the ACT and the Northern territory.
"The few GM canola growers, far outnumbered by the supporters of GM-free, will also be shown on the map."
Mr Phelps claimed canola contamination from farms growing GM crops poses unacceptable hazards to public health, the environment and markets.
