Ban genetically-produced food'

THE National Consumer Protection Council has called for the ban on
imports and sale of all genetically- engineered food products until it has
been proven safe for consumption by an independent body. Chairman Datuk
Moehamad Izat Emir said, recent reports from scientists have alerted the
danger of such products. The council has suggested proper labelling of all
the genetically-engineered food.

"All the health food and health products need to be labelled accordingly to
safeguard the rights and safety of consumers," he said in a statement
released to announce the resolution of the council meeting attended by 18
members in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
