This is actually quite amusing: Warning over loophole in new GM laws by Ian Fletcher This is London 19 March, 1999 Trading standards watchdogs warned today that loopholes in the Government's new laws on GM foods may be exploited by manufacturers and lead to further confusion for shoppers. The Institute of Trading Standards said it welcomed the new labelling laws with a cautious "two cheers". It said that products containing GM soya and maize will need to be clearly labelled subject to certain exemptions which include additives like emulsifiers, soya bean oil and trace elements. However, the trading standards officers warned that the regulations do not cover GM tomato purée or yeast, which may be present in the same foods. The institute gave two examples of its concern - one caterer selling a pizza which contains GM tomato purée but no GM soya or maize; and the package which declares the food to be "GM free" but which contains elements of GM soya. < © Associated Newspapers Ltd., 19 March 1999
