I, and also on behalf of Senator Xenophon, move:
- That the Senate—
- (a)
- notes recent reports in Australia that found infant formula had been contaminated with genetically modified (GM) soy and corn;
- (b)
- acknowledges the significant level of community concern about food labelling and safety issues in Australian food products, particularly those being fed to infants and young children; and
- (c)
- calls on the Government to introduce clear and effective labelling standards that require all GM additives in Australian food products to be labelled.
