The publication follows the UK government’s announcement of five key principles for considering GM in the UK. The principles emphasise the importance of listening to different views on the use of the technology.
Bite was established by the FSA to discuss challenging food-related issues.
The latest issue of the magazine, entitled: GM – novel cuisine or unpalatable prospect?, looks at food security and sustainability and asks whether GM may or may not have a valid role to play.
Bite has drawn together the views of leading scientists, researchers, consumer champions, farmers, food manufacturers, government ministers and NGOs.
The Food Standards Agency doesn’t claim to have the answers when it comes to the introduction of GM food or technology, but it hopes that the latest issue of Bite will encourage interested parties to question whether their approach addresses the real concerns that some consumers have on GM.
