"Caution - this product is genetically modified." This inscription and below it an illustration of a red warning triangle, inside a carrot and a syringe, appeared on stickers affixed by four young people with a "punkist" appearance to food products in the Ko Op supermarket in Dizengoff Center.
The four, three young men and a young woman between the ages of 18 and 21, were caught red-handed yesterday morning by the supermarket workers near one of the shelves, while they were vigorously attaching stickers to cornflakes and Bamba packages.
"They didn't seem like good guys," said the supermarket workers, "nor did they identify themselves as members of any movement or organization. This is already the second or third time we've discovered stickers of this type affixed to food packages.
Last time, about two months ago, they were attached to meat products. We heard about the phenomenon in other supermarkets as well. This time we caught the stickers in the act and confiscated several additional rolls of stickers that we didn't have time to use. After we peeled off the stickers, we discovered that the packaging had been damaged," they said.
"They looked like punkists, 3 young men and a young woman with shaved heads on the sides with dyed hair in the middle and thick and heavy chains, like my dog's collar" - described Ido, the supermarket worker. "While we caught them and called the police, they also approached the shoppers who came to the supermarket and tried to convince them not to buy the 'engineered' products. They also 'didn't take into account' the policemen who arrested them," he explained.
In their investigation by the police, the young men, originally residents of Sharon and northern Israel, did not elaborate on their motives and did not associate themselves with the organization. One of the young men said that they only wanted to "warn the public about the products". At the end of the investigation, they were released on bail.
