U.K. Govt to Publish Label Rules on Genetically Modified Food Bloomberg News February 25, 1999, 3:00 a.m. ET London, Feb. 25 (Bloomberg) -- The U.K. government will next week publish rules requiring all food containing genetically modified food to be clearly labeled, the Financial Times reported, citing no sources. Concern over genetically modified food is likely to grow in the U.K. in spite of government insistence it is entirely safe, especially after local governments across the country banned the foods from schools and care homes for five years. The government also plans to establish a Food Standards Agency early next year which will take over the role of licensing new genetically modified food from the agriculture ministry, the FT said. Public criticism of genetically modified food crops was visible in the U.K. last week when Greenpeace activists dumped 4 metric tons of genetically modified soybeans outside the official home of British Prime Minister Tony Blair. --Michael Bleby in the London newsroom (44 171) 330-7041/cp More News: MTC
