    • LABELLING OF GM FOOD
    Tuesday, July 6, 2010


    - Labeling of GM food is not for safety reasons, but to let the consumers to aware about their choices.
    -     Labeling of GM foods in Singapore is aligned with international trends and practices.
    -     Compulsory labelling of GM food is not practiced internationally, by making it mandatory, it could cause reduce in supply and rise in food costs.

    - AVA and GMAC monitor international developments closely to ensure labelling requirements are up to date.
    -     Singapore is working closely with the Codex Committee on Food Labelling to come up with acceptable guidelines on labelling of GM food.
    - GMAC also assures consumers that food available in Singapore, including GM food, is safe for consumption.
    - Current food regulations do not require GM food to be specially labelled.
    -     However, it has to meet existing food labelling requirements (ingredient listing and information) to assist in tracing and recall.
