LETTER
FOR SUPPLIERS
We thought
this draft letter might be of help. It has been written to address
the supply of food that has been genetically modified, however it
can be adopted to fit other criteria you may have in your policy:
Dear...........
Please
find enclosed a copy of our Sustainable Food Policy. As you will note
the policy states that we will not knowingly use genetically engineered
foods or products containing genetically modified organisms (GMO).
We hope
you share our commitment to healthy and safe food and that you will
help us achieve this objective and we do appreciate the challenge
of carrying a totally GMO - free product line.
We request
verification from yourselves that all products and their ingredients
that we purchase from you are certified 100% non-GMO ingredients.
Where
product samples have been independantly tested please make test results
available to us upon request.
We intend
to discontinue buying products known to contain GMO and would appreciate
your help in this matter. If you would like to talk to us about our
policy and decisions please tel: Richard B.......... on 012345 678
Thank
you for your co-operation
Yours
sincerely
R....B......
Sustainable
