This sub-metric is used to evaluate the metric : ""5.6 Genetic modification""
With this metric we aim to publicise and compare the performance of the main distributors in Spain in relation to the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the animal feed of their own-brand products.
We are not referring to the distributors' fresh or packaged finished products, which by law must not contain GMOs. In this respect, statements such as "No products of our brands contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs)" are meaningless. What we evaluate is the animal feed of fresh products (meat, poultry, fish,...). Excluded from this section would be certified "organic" products, which by law should not be exposed to genetically modified feed.
