The High Court found the Government's gene-edited food regulations to be unlawful. The Regulations need to change. Now. Until they do consumers still have no right to know if their food contains genetically modified ‘precision bred’ ingredients and farmers still won’t know what they are planting. Use our free e-action portal to tell your MP it's time to #FixTheRegulations and restore transparency, traceability and consumer choice. https://t.co/h1kAr0HvkG
And this is not merely opinion. It is laid bare in the confidential documents turned over directly as a result of @Beyond_GM’s case. Nothing mattered except fealty to the biotech industry, including telling the truth to the Minister involved.
Amazing news for anyone who thinks all GMOs - including the stupidly named 'precision bred organisms' - shoudl be labelled and traceable in the food system . Now that the High Court has identified the problem, let's start labelling these unwanted GMOs so we can avoid them.
We're celebrating! 🎉🎉 We've had a significant win in our high court challenge the precision bred GMO regulations. The court has ruled that the Defra Minister's decision not to label PBOs in the food chain was unlawful. Read the full story: https://t.co/Tr4DdgMDm6
Time is running out! Judicial reviews are complex, time consuming and expensive. But they can also create change. That's why we are challenging the hidden GMOs in our farming and food system. Read more about our case and why people are supporting us. If you agree that GMOs should be visible and traceable in our food system help us keep going by contributing to our legal fund today. https://t.co/TQ2j3Limfa
This investigation gives a glimpse of the future. We won’t have a choice over gene edited animals unless we keep pressure up on government to ensure environmental, animal & consumer rights are protected. https://t.co/SdAXFckA4e
The UK government is preparing new legislation that will deregulate gene edited farm animals. Excellent long-read in the Ecologist from the Agtivist Agency exposes the conflicts, uncertainties and lack of transparency around a move that could see industrial animal agriculture – with all its welfare and ecological concerns - further embedded in our food system https://t.co/3K1BqPVUgM
1/ “The UK’s red lines are increasingly constraining progress”. Those red lines also disempowered and prevented civil society from participating effectively and equitably in the creation of the new Genetic Technology regulations. https://t.co/LKTbDA0eUb
Please support this effort to make sure the government does recognise its "duty" to make genetically modified PBOs visible and avoidable in our food system!
The second day of our judicial review of the Genetic Technology Regulations turned up some fascinating insights into the government's priorities and attitudes to farmers, the organic sector and consumers...
It was an intense couple of days in court for us this week. Importantly, it revealed just how fragile and contradictory the government’s position really is. Read more about what we heard and why this case matters. https://t.co/Bpe5E2Ambs #StopHiddenGMOs
Exciting first day in a packed court for @Beyond_GM's judicial review of the Genetic Technology Regulations. Follow them and support their efforts on behalf of us all.
8 in 10 people in the UK want to be able to choose GM free. @Beyond_GM is fighting to ensure we all have a choice. To support the ongoing cost of their legal case please donate today at https://t.co/KOd04qNPOz
Whilst we are all occupied with the multitude of distractions that daily modern life presents to us, and whilst so many of us are discussing how to optimise our diets, the fundamentals of it all and their gradual degradation seem to be completely missed by the vast majority of people.
The future of our environment and our food supply is increasingly under threat with recent and proposed legislation looming to create a regulatory landscape that empowers a few but will leave us with little agency. There is silence where there were once loud voices and by fighting each other we may miss the things that really matter. 🌱
@Beyond_GM is challenging the UK government in the High Court on May 12–13, 2026, over the deregulation of "precision-bred" Genetically Modified Organisms (PBOs). The lawsuit argues that the Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Regulations 2025 unlawfully remove key safety, labelling, and transparency measures. The case argues that the regulations and accompanying guidance documents go beyond what Parliament authorised, violating environmental protocols and removing consumers’ right to make an informed choice, at the point of sale, about what they are eating. https://t.co/sWkoM0eNH8.

Challenge over new-GMO regs heads to High Court. @Beyond_GM brings judicial review, arguing allowing GMO plants to enter the environment and the food chain—without safety testing or labelling—undermines the rights of farmers, food businesses and consumers. https://t.co/lgfAsTrJgb
Two new Beyond GM briefings explore the likely next stages for the UK’s deregulation of gene editing: farm animals and microorganisms. But the picture is considerably more complicated than the government may want us to believe. https://t.co/9yKS8s5zzW
⚖️🌱 Gene-edited crops are set for a High Court test in May. The legal challenge has been launched against England’s precision breeding regulations

Dear Rishi, facts matter. The genetically modified purple tomato does not prevent cancer. UK cancer organisations have been very clear in correcting this hype and UK food labelling law specifically prohibits such dangerous claims. https://t.co/OcBiF2tRtl
As the EU revises rules for gene-engineered plants, debates centre on safety, traceability and labelling. Overlooked is patent law’s role in reshaping who can breed plants, on what terms, and with what legal certainty overall. https://t.co/uHXJ8HV8K1
