Sticky labels
Article Abstract:
There is a difference of opinion between the US and Britain over whether genetically modified food should be labeled as such. The British argue that consumers have a right to know, while the US position is that they do not need to know. Codex Alimentarius is a body that was set up by the World Health Organization and Food and Agriculture Organization to deal with international safety standards for food. Codex has been used for trade disputes, and there are moves to change Codex standards which concern US officials. Supporters of more precise labeling argue for freedom of choice for consumers, even if there appear to be no health risks from genetically modified foods.
