Do things like flavours and additives need to be labelled?
The same rules for foods and ingredients also apply to flavours and additives. If they are produced directly from genetically modified organisms, they must be labelled as such. This applies to the many different additives produced entirely or partially from GM maize or GM soy. Labelling requirements for additives that are processed with the help of GM microorganisms remain unclear. For the time being, these additives are not labelled as long as the genetically modified microorganisms themselves do not make their way into the product.
