Soil Association policy director Peter Melchett has welcomed the European Parliament decision to set the lowest possible threshold for GM contamination of organic food of 0.1 percent.
He said: "David Miliband must now scrap the UK government proposal to allow almost 1 percent GM contamination of organic food. His pro-GM position had been criticised by 74 major organic businesses, because people who eat organic food want to avoid all GM.”
