Did you know Genetically Modified Food Labeling laws in Australia have some exceptions:

GM food products on sale in Australia and New Zealand – either as a whole food or as an ingredient in a processed food – must have their GM status identified if introduced genetic material or protein is present in the final food. However, there are exceptions.

– Foods where GM ingredients are highly refined, such as cooking oils, margarine, sugars, starches, chocolate, baked goods. Many processed foods fall into this category.
-Foods made at bakeries, restaurants and takeaways.
-Foods from animals that are fed GM feed.
– GM labelling laws allow companies to include up to one percent of GM organisms in food without labelling it GM, as long as the GM is there “unintentionally” or by accident.

In Australia, there are currently no approved GM fresh foods, such as fruit and vegetables.

Should they ever be approved, FSANZ’s regulation states that they must be displayed with a tag disclosing their GM status.
