The Government considered a range of evidence, including data from a number of consumer insight studies, in the development of its policy on the labelling of food and feed derived from precision bred organisms.

All food containing genetically modified organisms will continue to be labelled as such and information on authorised food and feed derived from precision bred organisms, will be published on a public register.
