What is CGSBs role in the development of a labelling standard?
CGSB manages the development of voluntary consensus standards through a balanced committee of experts who provide broad-based input to the standard. In this instance, these experts formed the CGSB Standards Committee on the Voluntary Labelling of Foods Obtained or Not Obtained Through Genetic Modification, representing users, producers and general interest groups. The three categories are always balanced so that no single group can dominate the voting procedures of the committee. A series of meetings are held, draft standards are developed and voted on, with the result being consensus approval of the draft standard. The draft standard is then submitted to the Standards Council of Canada as a candidate to become a National Standard of Canada.
