The newly extended EU directive for labelling genetically modified foods has been in effect since April 2004. However - contrary to expectations - very little has changed throughout most of Europe. Labelling requirements were broadened significantly, but consumers nonetheless rarely find labels indicating the use of genetic engineering.

Many consumers believe that GMO labels are meant to notify of health hazards - and feel "on the safe side" if they choose products without GMO labels.
