When does a product require labelling?
If a food is a genetically modified organism (GMO), it must be labelled make no doubt about it. For example: If genetically modified tomatoes (Flavr Savr tomato) or genetically modified corn on the cob make it to our product shelves, they must be clearly labelled even when sold loose, without packaging. To date, no such products are on the market. Processed foods and ingredients that are produced from genetically modified plants or microorganisms also require labelling. This has been the case without exception since April 2004, regardless of whether or not a GMO can be detected in the final product. In short: All foods and ingredients that are produced in whole or in part from genetically modified organisms must show this information on their labels.
