Résumé

The Regulation applies to food and food ingredients which are produced, in part or in whole, from genetically modified soya beans or from genetically modified maize. This Regulation does not apply to: (a) food additives, artificial flavourings and extraction solvents; (b) food produced from genetically modified soya beans or from genetically modified maize in which neither protein nor DNA resulting from genetic modification is present; and (c) food produced from soya beans or maize the corresponding ingredient of which (in the case of food consisting of a single ingredient, food in whole) contains an ingredient produced from genetically modified soya beans or from genetically modified maize to the extent of up to 1 per cent and which is present in the food accidentally. In such case, the handler shall be able to prove that he or she took measures to avoid genetically modified organisms or food produced therefrom. Food which consists of more than one ingredient, and one or several of the ingredients of which are produced from genetically modified soya beans or from genetically modified maize shall be labelled as follows: (a) the words “produced from genetically modified soya” [“valmistatud geneetiliselt muundatud sojast”] or “produced from genetically modified maize” [“valmistatud geneetiliselt muundatud maisist”] shall appear in the list of ingredients in parentheses immediately after the name of the ingredient concerned, or (b) the words “produced from genetically modified soya” [“valmistatud geneetiliselt muundatud sojast”] or “produced from genetically modified maize” [“valmistatud geneetiliselt muundatud maisist”] shall appear in a prominently displayed footnote to the list of ingredients, related by means of an asterisk (*) to the ingredient concerned, or (c) the words “produced from genetically modified soya” [“valmistatud geneetiliselt muundatud sojast”] or “produced from genetically modified maize” [“valmistatud geneetiliselt muundatud maisist”] may be abbreviated to “genetically modified” [“geneetiliselt muundatud”] in the list of ingredients in parentheses immediately after the name of the ingredient concerned if the list of ingredients sets out that the ingredient is produced from soya beans or maize, or (d) the words “genetically modified” [“geneetiliselt muundatud”] may appear in a prominently displayed footnote to the list of ingredients, related by means of an asterisk (*) to the ingredient concerned if the list of ingredients sets out that the ingredient is produced from soya beans or maize.
