With a government review of food labelling underway in Australia, CHOICE is encouraging consumers to join the call (http://www.choice.com.au/Consumer-Action/Your-food-labels/Food-labelling-review/Better%20labels%20on%20all%20GM%20foods/page/GM%20labelling%20letter.aspx) for better GM labelling on all foods.
Supermarkets are now full of foods with ingredients that are likely to be derived from GM crops, such as soy, corn, canola and cotton. The list of foods that could contain GM ingredients is endless and includes breakfast cereals, breads, cakes, biscuits, sauces, cooking oils, margarine spreads, confectionery, chocolate and snack foods.
But loopholes in food labelling laws mean that manufacturers don’t have to tell you.
