Who among us does not have a soft spot for Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream...my own favorites are "Cherry Garcia" (old Dead fan here) and Chunky Monkey, and sure most of us have our own favorite flavors as well as memories surrounding our FIRST TASTE of this iconic ice cream brand that has ALWAYS BEEN so environmentally and socially aware as a company. So, it was with a happy heart today that I read an article announcing Ben & Jerry's is going GMO FREE with the target goal being 2015! Doing a Snoopy Happy Dance here at such incredible news from one of my own favorite company's!
The statement from the company is calling for full disclosure labeling...WOOT WOOT, and has gone on further to state their company's goal is to source only non GMO ingredients for thier products by the end of this year, though transition times may carry over into 2014...bottom line...a GMO FREE Ben and Jerry's ice cream treat by 2015! That is truly cause for celebration, and a very special thanks goes out to Ben & Jerry's for showing the world once again why they are leaders in Corporate Responsibility!
