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
