What happens when food gets contaminated with small amounts of GMOs? When does this need to be labelled?
Unintentional and technically unavoidable mixing only needs to be labelled if the GM content exceeds 0.9 percent (of the original ingredient). This allowance is only valid under two conditions: • The affected producer must prove that the traces of GMO were technically unavoidable. If GMOs are mixed intentionally, labelling is always required. • The GMO that is present must be authorised in the EU and thereby considered safe.
