I have always advocated that the same type of testing should be done on new genetically modified foods as is carried out on drugs. Otherwise, it will not be possible to feel safe about eating them. That is not currently the case. The US Food and Drug Administration accepts the studies done by companies. It will consider if Monsanto, for example, has successfully grown Round-up ready beet. It does not test the food in the same way it tests drugs for their effect on human beings, which it should do. It says there are not any ill effects, but how does it know that? As Members realise, unless something is tested in a controlled manner, one does not know the effects it could have. There is a serious question about putting such food on our tables and feeding it to our children. I have always been concerned about that, but I have not received a satisfactory answer as to why we should allow it. The legislation, although stringent, does not go far enough in terms of liability and testing of foodstuffs.
