Greenpeace presents petition signed by 1 million Europeans demanding action over GMO products
BRUSSELS, Belgium: Greenpeace handed over a petition to EU officials Monday — signed by one million Europeans — demanding the European Union impose mandatory labeling of all milk, meat and egg products derived from animals fed with genetically modified crops. The environmental group said the European Commission had to act to close a loophole in EU food safety rules which exempts certain animal products from labeling requirements, notably food products derived from animals fed with biotech food.
"This petition is a call for the EU to stop letting genetically modified organisms in through the back door of Europe and onto our plates," said Marco Contiero of Greenpeace.
