Genetically Modified Programs
Module: Genetically Modified Food Labeling
Definition: A genetically modified product (GM product) means a thing (other than a GMO) derived or produced from a GMO (section 10 of the GT Act).
Food made from gene technology is either defined as substantially different or substantially equivalent, in composition, nutrition, taste, smell, texture and functional characteristics, to conventional foods.
