GM FOOD

Early day motion 383, tabled 26 November 2007 by David Drew (Labour). Signed by 27 members.

That this House notes the concern over the amount of genetically modified animal feed used in dairy and pig farming; acknowledges that concerns have been raised over labelling of products, such as milk and meat, as GM-free when the animals were reared using GM products; understands that the only food standard that guarantees non-GM involvement is organic; and calls on the Government to review food labelling criteria and introduce requirements to give consumers an informed choice between GM and GM-free foods.
