Indonesian Consumers Foundation calls for stricter regulation of GM products
The Indonesian Consumers Foundation (YLKI) says it is high time for the government to require genetically modified products to be labeled, as it is the public’s rights to know what they are consuming. ”The consumer protection law guarantees consumers the right to information on all products or services. If the public knows whether a product is genetically modified, they can make an informed decision,” YLKI researcher Ilyani S Andang said Wednesday. The call for labelling was first sounded nine years ago, but the government has never responded in a significant way.
