Calls for testing of genetically-engineered products Australian Broadcasting Corp Monday 29 March, 1999 (7:27am AEDT) There are concerns consumers will lose confidence in the safety of their food unless genetically-engineered products are tested before being released onto the market. The Consumer Food Network fears the nation's health ministers will approve more than 500 foods containing untested genetically- engineered ingredients. Under an agreement reached last year, companies have until May 13 to have their products tested or see them taken off the shelves. Network coordinator, Dr Dick Copeman, says only two companies have had a total of seven products approved. Dr Copeman says companies are snubbing the requests of consumers who want no more genetically-engineered foods released until the regulations on labelling have been tightened. "It seems now that there's a whole lot of foods already out there unlabelled and they're all going to be given this de facto legalisation." abc.net.au:80/news/newslink/weekly/newsnat-29mar1999-19.htm
