Latvian Official Sounds Alarm: Unlabeled GMOs Coming to Europe?

Latvian Advisor Warns of Unlabeled GMOs in Europe Concerns are rising in Latvia over a potential European Commission decision to allow the sale of genetically modified (GMO) food products without mandatory labeling. Leontijs Morozs, an advisor to Latvian Member of Parliament Aināra Šlesera, has released a video urging citizens to take action. "The European Commission is lobbying for a decision that will allow these products on the market," Moroz stated in his video. "Next year, they could be on your plate, and you wouldn't even know it." Moroz's video directs viewers to a website where they can voice their opposition, aiming to ensure that Latvian MEPs are aware of public sentiment before a final decision is made. The video highlights the potential impact on consumer choice and transparency in the food industry. The lack of labeling raises concerns about informed consent, leaving consumers unaware of what they are consuming. The call to action underscores the importance of public participation in shaping food policy decisions.
