Availability of Foods Containting Genetically Modified Organisms on the Polish Market
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Applied Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper presents a list of genetically modified plants which can be used as ingredients of foods. According to the EU legislation, the following genetically modified organisms are admitted in food production: maize, rapeseed, soy, sugar beet and cotton. This is why the paper contains the analysis of the contents of foods available in Poland which can potentially contain these source materials. The research revealed that until 2009, foods with genetically modified organisms could be found on the market. The analysis of the labels on foods sold in two hypermarkets showed that none of the list of ingredients placed on the product labels contained information about the use of genetically modified source materials.
