Mr. Baker
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is his policy on the traceability of GM material used in food production. [67481]
Mr. Rooker
[holding answer 25 January 1999]: Under World Trade Organisation rules it is not possible to require GM material used in food production to be segregated as a condition of import. However, the Government have encouraged the provision of consumer choice by publishing a list of 59 suppliers offering traceable non-GM material. All foods which contain GM ingredients must be clearly labelled under EC Regulations.
