Indian GM food labelling starts in January 2013

Come January and companies will have to specify that food products contain genetically modified ingredients. That’s because the government on Tuesday notified new rules that mandate that these packaged food products carry a “GM” tag. While the industry may be complaining about this, they have some reason to celebrate as the government has modified the Packaged Commodities Rules to factor in their concerns. To begin with, they have been permitted to sell products such as biscuits, soaps, tea and coffee sachets that cost anywhere between Re 1 and Rs 10.
