Tapioca

 

Possible application of gene technology Lebelling
none to date  

 

Description of product

Tapioca is an agglutinated starch that is derived from manioc tubers (also known as cassava) and is traded as a granulate.

  • The EU imports 3.6 million tonnes of tapioca per year, mainly from Thailand.

Application

  • Tapioca is almost exclusively processed into mixed feed.
  • However, it is also found occasionally as a spezial starch in some food products, such as tapioca pudding.

Possible application of gene technology

Manioc is handled extensively within the framework of agrarian research. Gene-technological processes are applied in order to provide the plant with new characteristics. However, these projects remain in an early stage of development.

  • The cultivation of genetically modified manioc as raw material for tapioca starch cannot be expected in the short term

Labelling: Tapioca starch derived from genetically modified manioc would be subject to labelling.
