Question: "Please provide us with information so we may make educated shopping choices regarding Ranger chicken feed. Does the chicken feed contain pesticides and GE crops? I have sadly realized how food/health concerns are now beyond antibiotics, hormones and pesticides. Genetically Engineered corn and soy compound the food choices I make."
Answer: "Ranger chicken is from Draper Valley operation (Mt. Vernon, WA) which does prohibit antibiotics but does not screen for and does not exclude GE soy and corn. It therefore would have no prohibition against pesticides, since Genetically Engineered technology relies on pesticides and herbicides."
