Citizen delegation gets no assurance from FSSAI on illegal GM foods

“No Poison in Our Foods, Please” – India For Safe Food tells FSSAI

CITIZENS KNOCK ON FSSAI DOORS FOR CONCRETE ACTION AGAINST ILLEGAL GM FOODS IN INDIA

New Delhi, August 7th 2018: Pressing the food safety regulator FSSAI to take concrete action against illegal GM foods flooding into Indian markets, as confirmed recently by Centre for Science & Environment (CSE)’s findings, a delegation of citizens representing India For Safe Food turned up at the FDA Bhawan (FSSAI office) in Delhi. “The response of the FSSAI does not satisfy us. It is not enough that they say that they are in the process of formulating regulations with regard to GM foods. They have said this for years now. What about the interim, when GM is being consumed by unaware citizens unknowingly, and when industry is using loopholes to undertake unlawful sales?”, said Indian For Safe Food (IFSF) in a statement here.
