– The European Court came to this conclusion in its judgment on Case C-422-09 on 06.09.2011, stating as follows: -> Honey containing pollens of a genetically modified plant is, according to the Directive (EG) Nr.1829/2003, to be regarded as a foodstuff containing ingredients produced out of GMOs -> The contained GMO-pollens must be authorized prior to their introduction in the market – We understand this judgment as follows: -> Pollens in honey are regarded as an ingredient -> Pollens from genetically modified plants require an authorization.

This authorization does not depend on the

Proportion of the genetically modified substance -> Honeys, containing substances from genetically modified plants that are comprehensively permitted as foodstuffs, are authorized for sale in the market -> For genetically modified plants that are not comprehensively permitted as foodstuffs, the tolerance threshold is zero. – That means the following: -> Pending and future contracts with you as well as lots of honey from you which we have still on stock have to be free of GMO pollen.

-> For new shipments you need to send us a CoA (Certificate of Analysis) which confirms that the honey is free of GMO. many thanks for your attention and cooperation Fuente: Apicultura sin Fronteras.
