Hi Richard
I read somewhere that there are a number of allowed GM crops that should be labelled as such when used in foods -
So, I can look and see my soya milk is from non GM sources. However, if my baker uses soya oil in products (or corn flour or rape seed oil), then there may well be GM residue in my food. And, I guess when I eat meat that is from a non-organic source, that they may well have been fed cornmaize or soya and therefore may have GM proteins in their meat! In fact, organic meat may well have GM in that too, as I am sure there may have been cross-pollination from those trials we had - so GM soya planted near enough non-GM soya, resulting in a GM-nonGM new genetic cross!
To be honest, my worries are more about pesticide residues rather than GM. That's from a health point of view. In my almost ignorance (and you know what they say about a bit of knowledge), my understanding is that GM food may have a longer term effect on ecology. However, as I said I'm very ignorant about the science bit (out of lack of inclination to really read up on the subject).
Hope this makes my understanding clear - in a rambling way!
