Labelling requirements for foods and ingredients that contain genetically modified additives and flavourings (GM additives and flavourings)... 

In California s Central Valley, food cannot always be scooped up from the front path on the way home from school, but nearly. Here food is abundant, and it is fairly easy to figure out what to eat, especially if you are not overly concerned about the presence of GE ingredients or the wanderings of a genetically modified hen that lays blue eggs. If there is meaning to be found in each meal, it is not about how the food... 

Opinion of the Scientific Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms on a request from the Commission related to the safety of foods and food ingredients derived from insect-protected genetically modified maize MON 863 and MON 863 x MON 810, for which a request for placing on the market was submitted under Article 4 of the Novel Food Regulation (EC) No 258/97 b y Monsanto. European Food Safety Journal 2004 (50) 1—25. 

An area at the forefront of commercial applications of genetic engineering is the production of enzymes from genetically modified organisms. The milkclotting protease, chymosin, has been the first food ingredient produced via recombinant DNA techniques to be cleared for food use (21). The use of designed enzymes adjusted to specific process requirements will also provide new possibilities in the field of flavors. 

DNA from genetically modified organisms. However, it is often not simple to spot these ingredients on the list. The declaration vegetable oil could mean that the oil originated from sunflower, soy, maize, or canola. Some other ingredients are even less obvious than that ...
