Genetically Modified Food and Product Labelling

In the last decades, debates have arisen worldwide on the risks associated with cultivating and consuming genetically modified food. The distinct positions on the topic have led to different regulatory frameworks globally, with the United States leading in GMO production, the European Union imposing bans based on the precautionary principle, and China adopting a cautious yet significant role in the global GMO market. Recently, the increased perception of risks is leading these different legal systems towards the adoption and implementation of provisions aimed at giving consumers adequate information tools, particularly through product labelling.
