Germany presents non-GM logo for food products

The German Minister for Agriculture Ilse Aigner has presented a standardised logo for non-GM food products.

The minister said the standardised logo will make it easier for consumers to choose non-GM food products in an informed manner.

The standardised logo also helps to boost freedom of choice and enhances transparency when shopping for groceries, Aigner said.

The new logo is expected to be made available to interested manufacturers free of charge.
