Lancashire, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/21/2015 -- On Tuesday this week, The European Commission (EC) adopted a resolution to ban the new glyphosate-tolerant GM maize NK603 x T25 in food or feed. The EC stated that the entire authorization process for GM foods was "under review". This has led to increased attention in the UK towards the chemical contents of our food; with many people preferring to opt for most natural choice.
Concerns were expressed by MEPs who suggested that until improvements are shown, the procedures for authorizing GM food and feed should be suspended. This was met with opposition from the European Parliament who contended that there would be difficulty policing the laws and border checks between pro and anti GM countries may have to be re-established. The Commission is now expected to make a new proposal with a practical and realistic assessment of the procedures. It is expected that the customer's rights to still enjoy non GM food will be seen as important.
A spokesperson from The Pendle Pig was quick to reflect on the recent developments – especially in terms of the impact on catering. They said:
"This is fantastic news for everyone concerned in the industry. We pride ourselves on the quality of our pigs and personally don't use GM feeds – as we uphold the importance of natural, quality fodder for all our animals. All of our pigs are free range and organic and we work very hard to ensure the quality so that our customers enjoy only the finest pork."
