§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list the foodstuffs that have been genetically engineered which are currently on sale to the public; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. SoamesThe following products, produced by or containing genetically modified organisms, have been examined by the relevant expert committees advising the Government in this area and cleared for use in foodstuffs —a yeast for use in baking and three different preparations of the enzyme, chymosin, which is used in cheese manufacture. Once cleared for use, the sale of the products is a matter for the manufacturers concerned and their customers.
