Canadian organic pork producer duBreton has announced the launch of a “Verified No Cloning or Gene Editing” claim directly on consumer packaging now arriving at participating retailers across Canada. The voluntary claim, a first among Canadian pork producers, appears on select duBreton pork products with the purpose of clarifying for consumers production practices not currently required by Canadian law to be disclosed on food labels. “Consumers want to know how the food they eat is produced,” said Vincent Breton, president of duBreton, in a news release. “We do not participate in cloning or gene-editing technologies, and we believe shoppers deserve transparency that allows them to make informed decisions for themselves.” The claim is supported through duBreton’s USDA Organic and Certified Humane Raised & Handled certifications, which prohibit the use of cloning and gene-editing technologies within its pork production programs.
