European Court bans GM-tainted food from general sale: "The European Court has delivered a landmark judgement that could affect the food industry across Europe and jeopardises the future of genetically modified crop research.
Judges have ruled that honey and other food supplements contaminated with pollen from a genetically modified source can no longer be freely sold and can only be marketed with prior authorisation.
It is likely to have a massive knock-on effect for food producers, such as bee-keepers, who can now seek damages for being unable to sell their products, which have been inadvertently and unavoidably affected by traces of GM crop – such as pollen. "
