GM food needs labeling, Indonesian experts say
Experts and activists have called for the government to implement existing regulations on labeling genetically modified (GM) food. ”The consumers’ position is very weak because transgenic food can enter this country without safety testing and with no labels attached,” Indonesian Consumers Foundation (YLKI) researcher Ilyani Sudardjat told a workshop on applying precautionary principles to genetically modified foods in Jakarta on Thursday. Indonesia has had several regulations on the issue of GM or transgenic foods for more than 10 years.
