An agency will be formed to control the distribution of genetically-modified (GM) foods and enforce the mandatory labelling of such products sold in the market. Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the labelling requirement, which was stated in the Biosafety Bill 2006, will allow consumers to choose whether they want to consume or reject GM foodstuff. ”The regulations will allow people to be aware of the presence of GM foods as it will be stated on the labels pasted on the packaging,” he told reporters
