The Finnish Union of Agricultural Produces and Forest Owners (MTK) say
that consumers have the right to know about the use of genetically modified
feed in the food chain.
According to a statement by the organisation?s executive, MTK supports
the consumer?s right to know about the origin of their food, the way that it
was produced, and the possible use of genetically modified feed, or raw
material in the production of the food.

MTK is calling for the voluntary labelling of products in every part
of the production chain, and urges retailers to make sure that consumers
have sufficient information about products.

Under current legislation, there is no need to report the use of
genetically modified products in the food chain, as long as the product
itself is not from a genetically modified plant or animal.
