Appendix Three: Examples of GM-Free Claims
The table below lists some of the products that the
interdepartmental working group is aware of that have
"GM-free" labels. It is intended to provide a
"snapshot" of the range of foods whose suppliers are
making GM-free claims, and the terminology used. It is not an
exhaustive list, or based on a survey, of foods with GM-free
representations.
