That's a slightly different (off-)topic.

Gene food for human consumption would have to be
labelled if it contains at least 1 percent of GM biomass.
Monsanto does not sell food here. But Nestle made a field
experiment with a labled product

(One could buy it as birthday gift for a good old enemy.)

According to our environmentural authority, there are only
2 GM corn strains and 1 GM potato strain allowed for growing
in the EU. Only one corn strain may actually be produced:
"MON810" (sic).
  http://www.umweltbundesamt.at/umweltsituation/gentechnik/zulassungen/
(zorry, in german language)

The only way how GM produce is comming into the EU is as
cattle fodder. Corn and soy from both american continents.
GM fed cattle does not have to be labeled.

Have a nice day :)

Thomas
