Germany seeks 'non-modified' food label

Article Abstract:

Germany and Austria are looking at the problem of how non-genetically engineered foods should be defined and labelled. Farmers and certain food manufacturers want to label products as free of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), but even the most careful products cannot guarantee that their products are free of contamination by foreign DNA. Biotechnology companies are developing sensitive tests for potentially contaminating genes.
