Under the EU regulation 1830/2003 all food and feed products containing GM ingredients have to be labelled with the words "This product contains genetically modified organisms". However there are a few exemptions: - Animal products (such as meat, eggs or milk products) from animals fed on GM feed do not have to be labelled. - Contamination with GMOs does not have to be labelled if they are "traces of authorised GMOs in a proportion no higher than 0,9 % […], provided that these traces are adventitious or technically unavoidable." (1830/2003). GM contamination still has to be labelled if it is higher then 0.9% or if it could have been avoided. This should not be confused with a labelling threshold that allows low levels of GMO in food and feed products. Under the CPB, that regulates the transboundary movement of GMOs, labelling requirements are still discussed, often referred to as "Article 18".
the USA Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act in Section 201(m) defines "labeling" as:"all labels and other written, printed, or graphic matter (1) upon any article or any of its containers or wrappers, or (2) accompanying such article" at any time while a device is held for sale after shipment or delivery for shipment in interstate commerce. Labelling: Council Directive 92/27/EEC of March 1992 on the labeling of medicinal products for human use and on package leaflets defines “Labelling” as “information on the immediate or outer packaging”.
a process in which a label is applied to a product, manually or automated on any surface needed.
Activities associated with the design and content of the wording on a product or package which identifies it and provides instructions for its handling and use.
Sellers must label products. The label may be simple or elaborately designed. In any case, the law may require additional information. First, the label identifies the product or brand. The label might describe the product: who made it, where it was made, what it contains, how it is to be used & how to use it safely. Consumerists have lobbied for additional labeling laws to require open dating (to describe the product freshness), unit pricing (to state the product cost in standard measurement units), and finally, the label promotes the product through its attractive graphics.
