Genetically modified and non-genetically modified food supply chains : co-existence and traceability

Genetically modified and non-genetically modified food supply chains : co-existence and traceability / edited by Yves Bertheau, Research Director, French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA), France.

"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 manufacture...
