A recently released study in Germany found that compulsory labeling for products from animals fed with genetically engineered plants would lead to extra costs for companies and government agencies. Additionally, the regulation will work only on an EU level – implementation on a country-by- country basis will not be achievable. These are the main results of a study done by the Thünen Institute (TI) on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Food and Agriculture.
