Study Notes

EU regulations require labelling of GMOs indicating modified characteristics and method of modification
US does not apply EU standards to exports and only requires labelling if there is a significant nutritional difference or unexpected allergen
FDA proposed voluntary guidelines for labelling GMOs, but does not recommend labels such as "GM-free" or "not genetically modified"
Labelling frequency depends on consumer use of information
Some consumers do not support segregation of transgenic food or mandatory labelling
First generation of transgenic crops used antibiotic marker resistant genes for selection
Antibiotic resistance gene and product may be present in foods derived from plants developed using markers
Novel foods or ingredients deemed non-equivalent if scientific assessment shows differences from conventional food
Limits of natural variations considered for characteristics assessed
Examples of modified characteristics include allergenic potential and genes from animals in plant-based foodstuffs.
