The production of biotech-derived commodities continues to expand with the adoption rate of genetically engineered (GE) corn surpassing GE cotton. The Government of Colombia (GOC) Ministry of Health and Social Protection (MHSP) continues to develop a biotechnology regulatory framework with a “Technical Annex” to be issued in late 2014. The Annex will establish requirements for labeling foods derived from modern biotechnology, identification of raw materials and low level presence (LLP) thresholds.
