According to the Law of Ukraine "On food safety and hygiene", which the Verkhovna Rada adopted on December 21, 2017, GM feed and feed containing GM organisms should be marked.

The new marking requirements come into effect on January 19, 2020, kurkul.com reports.

According to Art. 31 of the Law GM feed and GM organisms are subject to mandatory labeling.

Marking should contain the name of the feed and the inscription "genetically modified" or "made from genetically modified organisms" and the names of these organisms.

The marking requirements will not apply to feeds containing less than 0.9% of GM organisms in total, provided that the presence of GM organisms is technically impossible and manufacturers provide evidence that they have taken all measures to remove GM organisms from feed.
