Germany will introduce a special label for food that hasn't been genetically modified.

 Agriculture State Secretary Gert Lindemann said the new “non-GM” label will apply not only to non-genetically-modified crops but to eggs, meat and milk from animals that were raised without biotech feed. He said the move was aimed to protect consumers' rights but didn't specify when the new system would be introduced. Food that contains traces of genetically modified technology is already being labeled as such in Germany.
