European Parliament
says no to more food irradiation
Press
release - Brussels - The European Parliament's (EP) rejection
to expand
the list of food products that are permitted for irradiation
in the European
Union indicates a growing concern about the safety of food irradiation.
Consumers
are subjected to a number of myths when it comes to food additives.
Swedish Consumer Coalition has analysed five of the most common
myths. We question why there are so many chemical additives in
our foods. Who benefits from manipulated foods?
We
take a close look at the many cases were genetically modified
organisms (GMO) corn, rape seed (canola) and other GMOs have
entered into our food chain by mistake. Consumers demand to
have a choice and want to be able to avoid GMO foods. We also
argue that Europe should pursue its own food and agricultural
policy, for the benefit of consumers and farmers, and urge the
European Commission to promote sustainable and organic agriculture.
