United Kingdom - Scaremongering over GM foods

Shoppers are demanding better labelling of meat and milk from animals fed on a GM diet.
A Food Standards Agency focus group says consumers need to be told when any 'Frankenstein Food' process is used.
Shoppers are kept in the dark about the majority of meat and milk in supermarkets which comes from animals on a GM diet.The agency published the details of the demand for honest labelling ahead of a public information and consultation exercise on the future of GM farming and food.
No genetically modified crops are grown in the UK, but millions of people are eating food from animals raised on GM every day.
The focus group found misgivings about GM and its impact on health with both those in favour and those with doubts on GM saying it was important for consumers to be told what they are eating for dinner.
