Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Regulations 2025

Contribution

As for the consumer, how does your local village baker, who uses a mixture of flour and puts her loaves straight onto a shelf without a label, inform her customers what sort of flour she has used in her bread? She would probably need to have a general notice above the door of her shop saying, “The products sold in this shop may contain flour that is remotely descended from a plant that was once precision bred”. Frankly, such a statement would be meaningless to any member of the public.
