Friends of the Earth: Non GMO means no genetic engineering, period...
In a session on new genetic engineering techniques such as synthetic biology on Friday, Dana Perls from Friends of the Earth said: "To the consumer, non-GMO means no genetic engineering, not just in the final product, but also in the process [a position shared by the Non-GMO Project, which would not, for example, verify a product that was made with meat or milk from animals fed GM feed, or flavors made with a GM yeast]."
