A new analysis by A Bigger Conversation suggests that in its haste to deregulate agricultural gene technologies, the UK government is “choosing to get it wrong” by ignoring expertise from all sides. The analysis, carried out by A Bigger Conversation, highlights multiple themes missed by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs’ (DEFRA) official analysis of responses to its 2021 public consultation on the regulation of genetic technologies. It shows that DEFRA's analysis was inadequate and divisive and failed to take account of public opinion. GMWatch

 

 

The Center for Food Safety needs your help to inspire their next GMO labelling campaign and ensure our right to know what's in our food. The new genetically engineered (GE or GMO) labelling regulations finalised by the Trump administration's Department of Agriculture (USDA) went into effect on January 1. These regulations are a cynical hide and seek game played against the American public. Instead of informing people about the GMO ingredients in foods, these regulations are designed to help companies hide the GMO content in products. Center for Food Safety is suing USDA to have these irresponsible regulations rescinded, but as that suit goes through the courts, they need all hands on deck to expose the companies hiding GMOs behind QR codes or 800 numbers.
