In the European Union nations, and other countries including Japan,
Australia and Malaysia, it is a legal requirement that food
products containing genetically modified organism (GMO) materials
are labelled as such in order that customers may make informed
purchasing decisions. For manufacturers and consumers to be
confident about these assertions, systems must be in place along
the entire food chain which support the co-existence of GM and non
GM materials whilst maintaining a strict segregation between the
two.
This book is an output of a European Union-funded project
entitled "Co-Extra: GM and non-GM food and feed supply chains:
their Co-Existence and Traceability." The objective of this four
year project is to provide practical tools and methods for
implementing co-existence that will: enable the co-existence of
genetically modified (GM) and non-GM cropsenable the segregation
and tracing of genetically modified organism (GMO) materials and
derived products along the food and feed chainsanticipate the
future expansion of the use of GMOs
The project is designed to foster a robustly science-based
debate amongst all of the stakeholders involved in the food and
feed chains, and the tools will be assessed not only from a
technical point of view but with regard to the economic and legal
aspects. It also surveys the GMO-related legal regimes and
practices that exist in and beyond the EU.
This book examines the practical tools and methods available to
implement the co-existence and traceability of GM and non-GM food
materials along the entire food and feed chains, as demanded by
consumers and by legislation in force in the EU and elsewhere. GM
and Non-GM Supply Foods is a source of valuable information for
food manufacturers, food research institutions and regulatory
bodies internationally.
