Forwarded message:
Thanks so much if you contacted your Senators to demand they ensure that all genetically modified organisms (GMOs) continue to be assessed for safety. The Senate will vote on the issue this Wednesday (13th) and Labor Party support will be vital. Unfortunately, the Shadow Health Minister Chris Bowen has said Labor won’t support the Greens disallowance motion – and we need to change this.
Can you give him a call on 02 6277 4822?
Alternatively you can send him a tweet
Or message him on his Facebook page
The organic industry and the European Network of Scientists for Social and Environmental Responsibility last week joined the growing number of voices warning of the potentially disastrous consequences of these regulatory changes. They mean that new GM techniques such as CRISPR can be used in our environment and food chain with no requirement for safety assessment or traceability.
Please tell Chris to regulate CRISPR!
Thanks so much for your support,

Impossible Foods’ burger hasn’t been approved for sale in the European Union because it contains genetically modified ingredients. The EU requires testing on such …..”.MORE
Our remark: AP does not state that the investigation on the GM ingredient heme (artificial blood) is still in progress at the Dutch Food and Drug administration (NVWA). Burger King does probably do not want to wait any longer on the result.

“In de Verenigde Staten wordt de plantaardige burger van Burger King gemaakt door het bedrijf Impossible Foods, maar die burger werd niet goedgekeurd door de Europese Unie omdat de Amerikaanse variant genetisch gemodificeerde ingrediënten bevat.” Bron Nu.nl, 12-11-19
Opmerking: De Gentechvrije Burgers vroegen aan Bureau GGO wie in de EU het onderzoek doet naar de Impossible Burgers en zij e-mailden dat het de NVWA is. We vroegen het tevens aan de EFSA en schreven er bij dat we bezwaar willen maken en zij zeiden hetzelfde. De uitslag wordt nog verwacht. Zie voor meer info hier.
