The European Commission Authorizes GM Corn in Feed and Food

 07/10/2022

Egg-NewsEgg-NewsA recent decision by the European Commission allows GM corn to be incorporated in animal feed and human foods.  As an indication of inherent hypocrisy among national regulators, cultivation of GM corn is still forbidden in the E.U.

 

Not unexpectedly, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded that GM corn is indistinguishable in nutritional content and is as safe as conventional corn. 

 

The use of GM corn requires appropriate information for consumers to be disclosed as specific label requirements, including:-

  • A statement that any food or feed product containing more than one percent ingredients of modified genetic origin carries a label signifying the presence of GMO ingredients.
  • Information on the unique identifiers for GMOs
  • An appropriate declaration for GMO ingredients used in manufacture of foods where mixtures of GMO ingredients are included.
