The future is organic food and the National Standards of Organic Production of India clearly prohibits usage of GM seeds, feed or livestock in organic farming and food. @fssaiindia - Issue a notification to impose a strict ban on import/ domestic production of GM food #NoGMFoods
Not a single GM food is permitted in the country, as per @fssaiindia’s submission in SC. In all these years of its existence, did @fssaiindia ever act on any illegal GM foods being sold in India? Its over-eager 2 regulate organic foods,but not GM! #NoGMFoods@jayashreenandi
All GM foods, with LMOs in them or not, should first be processed by GEAC and only then should applications be processed by @fssaiindia. We will not allow shortcuts since so-called processed GM might also have environmental implications. #NoGMFoods@mansukhmandviya@moefcc@BBC
GM food has been in the radar of environmental and health safety concerns since its introduction. GM food is inherently unsafe due to instability of the new genome and change in nutritional status. Why do we need it when you have so many other alternatives @fssaiindia#NoGMFoods
@PMOIndia@BJP4India you promised in 2014 not to allow GM foods until scientific evaluation on its long-term effects on consumers, soil/production. Stop backdoor illegal GM entry allowed by @fssaiindia now. #NoGMFoods
Does it know that in Tamil Nadu cotton milk is used for a kheer? And that in USA, GM corn is mostly used for fuelling cars?? How is it saying it will accept approvals elsewhere? @mansukhmandviya#NoGMFoods
