Diners still worry about GM food1 September 2000
Friends of the Earth has welcomed a new survey on restaurant labels by the Food Standards Agency. The survey shows that the presence of GM ingredients is one of the key items of interest to people eating out. Compulsory labelling of GM ingredients in restaurant dishes was introduced almost one year ago.
"The public are still concerned about GM food and want proper labelling to help them avoid it. Rather than scrapping this regulation, as some people want, it should be strengthened," said Friends of the Earth Real Food Campaigner, Adrian Bebb. "Trading Standards Officers must be given more resources to ensure that the rules are not being broken and that those who don't want to eat GM food are not being hood-winked."
