What is GM food?
In Standard 1.5.2, GM food is described as “food produced using gene technology” and is defined as “a food which has been derived or developed from an organism which has been modified by gene technology”, where gene technology is defined as “recombinant-DNA techniques that alter the heritable genetic material of living cells or organisms”. GM food is the common name by which we refer to such foods. Such foods may also be referred to as genetically engineered or GE foods, and sometimes biotechnology-derived foods.
