According to the procedures, food products containing more than 0.1% genetically modified organisms are subject to mandatory labeling.
Food products containing genetically modified organisms are to be labeled by their producers (suppliers).
The words "genetically modified" or "contains genetically modified organisms or manufactured with its use" are to be written in brackets after every product containing such organisms on the list of the contents of food products and the names of the organisms are to be stated.
In the case of products containing genetically modified organisms that are not being sold in packages, their sellers are to mark them by making the relevant notes on the tags bearing the names of the products.
Food products without genetically modified organisms or those containing less than 0.1% genetically modified organisms can be marked "without genetically modified organisms."
Please, when is the Ukraine joining the EU? :smile: We need them if they're this sensible.
