Contrary to popular belief, Europe does buy genetically modified (GM) canola – referred to as rapeseed oil.
The European Union did relax the moratorium on genetically modified canola, and at least one freighter of gm canola was bound for Europe from Canada in October.
In Australia, Gene Ethics has been trying to pressure processing companies like Grain World to have separate sites for gm-free canola. Some sites reported a mixture of gm-free and gm canola in December, however, Grain World reported that the amounts were below the ‘industry threshold.’
