However, the labelling provisions do not cover some foods or food ingredients, such as highly refine
d soya or maize oil produced from GM-soya or GM-maize. The effect of today's agreement is to extend the current labelling requirements to also cover such food (soya or maize oil produced
from GM-soya or GM-maize) and food ingredients produced
from GMOs (biscuits with maize oil produced
from GM-maize) and to allow consumers to exercise their freedom of choice. The label has to indicate "Th
is product contains genetically ...[+++] modified organisms" or ".produced from genetically modified (name of organism)".
