During the question and answer session following a symposium in Boston
about a month ago discussing the labeling of GMOs, I proposed an
alternative approach to GMO labeling that I suggested might be
more acceptible to industry yet of value to future studies monitoring GM
proliferation in the food stream and epidemiological type studies of the
impact of GMOs on human health. The approach I suggested is to require
that "Materials Safety" style data sheets be publically accessible for all
food products with GM ingredients. These data sheets would be accessible
via the web... grocery stores could provide in store web searching of the
GM data sheets.
My question/comment was the last of the afternoon... perhaps this is
why the panel of "experts" did not have any comment.
Do SANET list readers have any comments on this concept ?
