Further GMO-products are under consideration. In other European countries a general GMO-ban is already in place for nutrition and diet products.
This was taken into account when selecting the ingredient for LASQCdiet® during its development. The product contains no genetically modified ingredients. This avoids the legal requirement for registering and labelling that the product contains GMO-product
