Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to ensure that GM food is safe to eat and that its production does not adversely affect the ecosystem.

Under EU rules, proposed GM crops and foods are subject to a robust safety assessment to ensure that human health and the environment will not be compromised. The Government supports the need for science-based regulatory decisions on GM products.
