“Monsanto should not have to vouchsafe the safety of biotech food.... Our interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring its safety is the FDA’s job” — Phil Angell, Director of Corporate Communications, Monsanto.
"Ultimately, it is the food producer who is responsible for assuring safety.” — FDA, “Statement of Policy: Foods Derived from New Plant Varieties”

The SPGB has not adopted a position of opposing GMO per se but we are only too aware of the disinformation put out by vested interests. One of the major transgressors in this area is businesses endeavouring to protect their profits, their markets and their intellectual ownership by manipulating the political and legal process.
