No GMO labelling in
Britain — Daynard
Keith Roulston's February article
(GMO or No?) contains information
on the marketing or non -marketing of
genetically modified (GM) foods in
Britain which is inconsistent with
what UK food suppliers have told us.
First, virtually no one is labelling
GM foods in British stores since the
retailers claim that all their foods are
GM free. But food manufacturers
say, privately, that many of the
supposedly non -GM foods are made
using ingredients made from GM
crops. These include starches, sugars
and oils from North American GM
corn, soybeans and canola — since
non -GM protein or DNA can be
detected in the processed food
product. "Non -GM" in the UK really
means "Not detectable".
The same is true for livestock
products made from GM feeds since
all protein and DNA molecules are
broken down to basic compounds
during digestion. There is no trace of
GM ingredients in livestock products
made from corn, soybeans and
canola.
While some UK buyers claim to
avoid GM ingredients by purchasing
soybeans in Brazil, knowledgeable
observers say that Roundup -Ready
soybeans occupy from 11 to 20 per
cent of soybean acreage in that
supposedly GM -free country.
GM ingredients are used widely in
the manufacture of many enzymes
and additives used in UK foods.
Finally UK and European GM
labelling rules deliberately exclude
foods made using European GM
barley, wheat and other crops where
the genetic modification has been
created by nuclear irradiation or
chemical mutagens. European
agriculture has traditionally been a
heavy user of this form of GM. Most
