Food safety is an area that receives its fair share of bad press. The current food safety debate concerns foods which are, or are derived from, genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
From the Prime Minister and the Prince of Wales to celebrity chefs, everyone has expressed an opinion. Despite a concentrated campaign, the GM food industry and the Government have failed to convince the public of the benefits of GMOs, whereas detractors of the technology have successfully created a public perception that GM foods are mad, bad and dangerous to eat.
