***LIST OF GMO PRODUCTS TO AVOID***(Buy Organic & avoid GMO ingredients & oils from)
The 4 main GMO crops are:Corn, Canola, Soy, Cotton,

Some other products to avoid*:
* Roundup Ready® alfalfa, lettuce, sugar beets, soybeans, canola, wheat and creeping bentgrass
* Bt insect-protected apples
* Disease-resistant bananas
* Disease-resistant canola corn
* Rootworm-resistant corn
* YieldGard® corn
* Glyphosate-tolerant corn
* Insect-resistant corn
* Insect-protected cotton
* Next-generation Roundup Ready® cotton
* Vegetative insecticidal protein cotton
* LibertyLink® rice
* Insect-protected soybeans
* LibertyLink® soybeans
* Fusarium-resistant wheat
* Fruits and vegetables with longer shelf life(labelled or irradiated)
* Golden rice
* Phytase for animal feed (reduces phosphorus pollution from animal waste)
* Increased-energy-availability corn
* Improved drought-response corn
* Corn amylase for enhanced ethanol production
* Soybeans with improved protein functionality
* Edible vaccines and antibiotics
* Anticoagulants, blood substitutes, and hormones created from plants
* Plants that are able to absorb and store toxic substances
Glucose syrup, fructose, dextrose: All made from starch
Source: USDA's "Amber Waves."

Possible examples include:
*
genetically modified sweetcorn (in tins)*;
*
GM tomatoes**;
*
GM potatoes**;
*
raw salad from GM chicory** ; and
*
GM salmon**.

* = approved in the EU, but not available
** = the respective GM plants or GM animals are not approved in the EU at present

Food, ingredients or additives, which are produced from GMOs.
For labelling, it is irrelevant if the GMOs used are detectable in the end product.
At present, possible products include those made from GM soy beans and GM maize:
*
Oil from GM soy beans;
*
margarine from GM soy bean oil;
*
Oil from GM rapeseed/canola;
*
cornflakes from GM corn;
*
starch from GM corn;
*
bread with GM soy protein or GM soy flour; and
*
*glucose (dextrose), glucose syrup and other ingredients with GM corn starch.**
*
peanut puff snacks, tacos containing GM corn starch.
Additives which are produced from GM plants also must be labelled, and include:
*
sugar from GM sugar beet;
*
lecithin from GM soy beans;
*
vitamin E (tocopherol) from GM soy beans; and
*
cellulose from GM cotton, used as thickening agents and binder.
Further products which must be labelled, but for which at present there are no approved GMOs:
*
tomato sauce from GM tomatoes;
*
chips from GM potatoes;
*
starch from GM potatoes or GM wheat;

Food, ingredients and additives which contain genetically modified organisms:
This category applies primarily to food produced with GM microorganisms, and includes:
*
wheat beer with GM yeast;
*
yeast extract from GM yeast;
*
yoghurt with GM lactobacilli (lactic acid bacteria);
*
salami (raw sausages) with GM lactobacilli (lactic acid bacteria);
*
blue cheese with GM moulds; and
*
Quorn (protein from protazoa) from GM fungi.
To date, no GM yeast, GM bacteria or GM fungi are approved in the EU for use in food.

Labelling. Additives that are produced with the help of genetically modified microorganisms do not require labelling
beacuse GMOs are not directly associated with the final product. Because the final product is carefully purified
and does not contain any genetically modified organisms, vitamins and additives made in this way are not subjected
to special regulations or labelling requirements.
In some cases, amino acids and enzymes are not legally considered foods. Rather, they are known as processing aids.
This is why there is no legal requirement to declare these additives on the list of ingredients.


Food Products
Overview: Foods, Genetic Engineering, and Labelling

For the most part, foods in European supermarkets are not genetically modified. But that doesn't mean genetic engineering doesn't play a role in the production of the food we eat each day.
