Safeway operates about 1475 supermarkets across
the United States and about 210 stores in Canada. It is a national grocery chain
selling fresh produce, bakery items, major brand food items and a wide selection of
its own store brand products.
Despite numerous requests to meet with them, Safeway executives have refused to meet
with groups concerned with the issue of its continued use of genetically engineered food.
Safeway highlights its environmental record and customer response, but has failed to
address the risks of GE food to the environment and its customers.

Safeway's store brand products account for about 25% of their profits, and their
brands include: Safeway, Safeway Select, Verdi, Lucerne, Mrs. Wright's. In the
fall of 2000, Safeway was forced to take several corn products off the shelves,
including its store brand products, due to StarLink corn contamination.
GE-Free Markets Coalition and True Food Network members have been pressuring
Safeway all over the country demanding our right to safe, healthy, non-GE foods.
