Labeled GMOs in the USA got an other name: “Biofortified” but earlier “Derived from Bioengineering” or “Bioengineerd” .

Foodnavigator: Final GMO labeling rule does not require labeling of highly refined ingredients from GM crops, if no modified genetic material is detectable

20-Dec-2018 By Elaine Watson Quote: “In its final GMO labeling rule – released this morning – the USDA says it will not mandate the labeling of highly refined ingredients from GM crops if no ‘modified genetic material’ is detectable, but it will allow manufacturers to make voluntary disclosures on such products in the interests of transparency.”

Natural Blaze: GMO Foods Will Soon Be Mislabeled As Biofortified

By Scott C. Tips 30-01-2019

Biofortification

Quote: “Biofortification is a method of increasing certain vitamin and mineral content of basic food crops by the time-honored, conventional way of cross-breeding, and not through genetic engineering.”

We read that now they want to label GMO´s as “biofortified” and that´s misleading because it is not the same thing!! We as consumers will be deceived. The first labels they were going to use are also misleading.

Nederlands.

Producten uit de USA met gentech ingrediënten worden nu “Biofortified” genoemd. Maar op de labels kan ook “Derived from Bioengineering” of “Bioengineerd” staan.

Producten waarbij het GMO niet meer aantoonbaar is, hoeven in de USA niet te worden gelabeld.

Rats fed GM stacked-trait maize developed leaky stomachs

” The changes we saw are closest to those seen with chemical gastropathy (also called reactive gastritis), caused by chemical irritants, such as aspirin, damaging the lining of the stomach.” More from GeneWatch.

France bans dozens of glyphosate weedkillers

Glyfosaat over het gras en de weilanden? A.u.b. niet. Miep Bos 1994

Vertaling: Frankrijk verbiedt meerdere herbiciden waar glyfosaat in zit.

Maandag zei het Franse gezondheids- en milieu agentschap dat het meerdere herbiciden met glyfosaat verbiedt, het betreft de meeste die in Frankrijk worden verkocht, omdat er te weinig informatie aangeleverd is om gezondheidsrisico´s uit te kunnen sluiten.
