Genetically modified food

Mexico on June 24 began imposing a 50 percent tariff on white corn imports, a move the president says looks to boost national production and prevent imports of genetically modified corn.

They ensure a high level of protection of consumer health and interests as well as efficient domestic and international food trade, Tanjug is reporting.

However, experts, according to the media, are warning that these products are most likely finding their way to our tables. It's about processed food of foreign origin.

Macedonian Food and Veterinary Agency (FVA) published a statement that they found a ton of GMO foods on the market, reports Belgrade newspaper Politika.

Thorough inspection of the Macedonian market came after a super analysis in a EU reference laboratory confirmed the presence of GMO in soy and soy-based food.

BELGRADE - Consumption of genetically modified food has not harmed human health, according to a new report by a US agency criticized for its ties to industry. GMO crops are not increasing yields, the report said, but also show no major proof of environmental ruin.

After years of acrimonious debate, European Union states are finally near a compromise solution on the cultivation of genetically modified (GM) crops that will give reluctant governments the right to opt out from the practice.
