The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to examine a decision of the ministry of environment and forests, facilitating smooth entry of processed foods containing genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) to India by exempting them from existing regulatory mechanism. A PIL filed by Vandana Shiva alleged that the exemption given in the August 23, 2007 notification would permit genetically-engineered foods, known to have have serious health hazards, unregulated entry into India without they being subjected to checks or control.
