In 2001, Hershey's and M&M Mars told consumers they would not use genetically modified sugar. But now that GM sugar
beets are being planted commercially, you have made no such assurances. As a customer, I am very disappointed.

I have always looked to sugar as one of the few ingredients I could count on to be GM-free, unlike corn syrups and some other sweeteners. Without labeling of GM products, I have to rely on companies that have publicly stated that they will avoid GM sugar in order to make my purchasing decisions.

For this Valentine's Day, show me the love by continuing the opposition you voiced in 2001, and do not accept genetically modified beet sugar for your products. Over 70 food companies and retailers have joined the new Non-GM Sugar Beet Registry which lets consumers like me know that they plan to avoid GM beet sugar, at http://www.seedsofdeception.com/includes/services/no
