MEPs say GMO in honey is OK

Members of the European Parliament's Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) endorsed on the 19 March 2014 draft rules that define pollen as a natural constituent of honey and not an ingredient.

Under the new rules, to be voted in plenary in April 2014, genetically-modified (GM) pollen will only be labelled if it makes up more than 0.9% of the honey.
