HL Deb 18 March 2004 vol 659 c67WA
Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will ensure that food labelling identifies meat and milk from animals fed on genetically modified maize so that consumers may reject them if they so wish. [HL1889]

Lord Warner

All genetically modified animal feed undergoes a rigorous safety assessment before it is approved for feed use.

European Commission Regulation 1829/2003 on genetically modified food and feed comes into effect on 18 April 2004. This regulation does not require the labelling of meat or milk from animals fed on genetically modified animal feed.
