Six GM maize varieties approved as food/feed, but not for cultivation
After member states failed to return majority decisions for, or against, on three occasions, the Commission made a default decision.
One variety, Syngenta’s Bt11 maize, was up for renewal, while the five others were new authorisations. Products that contain more than 0.9% of these six, or other genetically modified ingredients, must be labelled. But no distinction is required between food products that come from animals fed GM or non-GM feed.
