En cuanto a India, la
GSR 427 de la Legal Metrology /Packaged Commodities Amendment Rules emitida en
Junio indica: “Cada paquete que contenga alimentos modificados genéticamente
deberá llevar en su parte suprior las letras “GM” ‘.
Por su parte, en
Indonesia la National Drug and Food Control Agency (BPOM) publicó su ‘Food
Labeling Control of Genetically Modified Product’ y la ‘Guideline of Food
Safety Assessment for Genetically Engineered Product’.
Estas
dos regulaciones son significativas ya que el gobierno de Indonesia reconoce el
crecimiento de los productos genéticamente modificados como parte del
mantenimiento de la seguridad alimentaria. Por lo tanto, ha tomado medidas para
garantizar que los consumidores conozcan y puedan tomar decisiones al tiempo
que los alimentos genéticamente modificados se hacen más importantes.

REGULATIONS
IN ASIA AND LABELING OF GM FOODS (from an article by Adrienna Zsakay, regional manager of Asian Food Regulation Information Service, cited in Portalfruticola.com
[contacto@portalfruticola.com]; Jul. 27,
2012)
In
India, the GSR 427 of the Legal Metrology /Packaged Commodities Amendment Rules
isued in June, establishes that “Each package containing GM foods must carry in
its upper part a sign with the letters GM”.
Regarding
Indonesia, the National Drug and Food Control Agency (BPOM) published its ‘Food
Labeling Control of Genetically Modified Product’ and the ‘Guideline of Food
Safety Assessment for Genetically Engineered Product’.
These two regulations are quite meaningful since the Indonesian
government recognizes the growth of genetically modified products as part of
the maintenance of food security. Therefore, they have taken measures to
guarantee that consumers know and can make decisions at a time in which GM
foods become more important.
