Genetic
engineering enables scientists to create plants, animals and
micro-organisms by manipulating genes in a way that does not occur
naturally. |

Genetically
engineered organisms should not be released into the environment as
there is not adequate scientific understanding of their impact on the
environment and human health.

Genetic engineering is the
largest food experiment in the history of the world.
Genetically engineered
foods contain substances that have never been a part of the human food
supply. They are not subjected to rigorous pre-market safety testing. And
THEY ARE NOT LABELED.
Is genetic engineering
safe for you and your family? Safe for the environment? Safe for the future
of mankind? No long-term studies have been done. No one can answer these
questions.

The Campaign to Label Genetically Engineered Foods
Analysts use many different phrases to describe genetically engineered
foods. The biotech industry rarely uses the phrase "genetically engineered
foods," sticking with the more bland (and less controversial) phrase
"biotech foods."
In Europe, genetically engineered foods are
more commonly referred to as genetically modified foods, genetically
altered foods or GMOs (short for genetically modified organisms). But
scientists generally agree that "genetically engineered" more accurately
represents the process than "genetically modified."
