GMO-free Japan


GMO-free Posted by Picasa

So many Japanese foods are labelled as "GMO-free" these days. Almost all tofu and other soybean foods are clearly labelled (in Japanese only) as 遺伝子組み替え大豆なし.

The Japanese consumer organizations, food producers, farmers and shops have been very successful to keep GMOs out of the ordinary foods, although the legislation actually allows for up to 5% to be GMO, even if it is labelled as GMO-free. That should be changed! The foods in the photo collage are different types of tofu, a healthy traditional soybean curd. The demonstration was an event recently to protest against GMO rice (GMO rice is not allowed in Japan). Itadakimasu!
