Title
GMO - Genetic Engineering - CAMPAIGN TO BAN GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOODS - Hommingberger Gepardenforelle
Description
On April 3, 1996 the European Commission formally approved the import, storage and processing of Monsato's genetically modified soybeans, Roundup Ready, in the European Union. The soybeans will not be required to be labeled as they enter Europe. Soybeans are used in 60% of all processed foods, such as bread, pasta, candies, ice cream, pies, biscuits, margarine, meat products and vegetarian meat substitutes. In fall1996 those products will be available unlabeled in the shops.
These decisions were made without properly informing the public and are ignoring public wishes. Surveys consistently find that 97% of European consumers want clear labeling of all genetically engineered foods and 80% do not want genetically engineered foods at all.
