It’s hard to work up an appetite when other diners brand what you’re about to eat ”Frankenstein food.” For many Europeans, that evocative label has told them all they need to know about genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

But the European Union may have reached a tipping point in its awkward relationship with GMOs.
