PETALING JAYA: More stringent labelling could be on the cards for food items on Living Modified Organisms (LMOs) and Gene­ti­c­ally Modified Organism (GMO) ­following proposed amendments to the Biosafety Act. The proposed regulations intend to regulate LMOs and LMO products beyond human food. This includes LMOs that have been highly processed. It will be mandatory to list down GMO items on the label, for example, soya (genetically modified). It stated that the proposed amendments would be done through additions to Section 61 and Section 69.
