WHAT IS
GENETICALLY
MODIFIFIED
FOOD
Genetically modified foods
(GM foods, or biotech foods)
are foods derived from
genetically modified
organisms (GMOs)
specifically, genetically modified crops
GMOs have had specific changes introduced into
their DNA by genetic engineering techniques.
These techniques are much more precise
than mutagenesis
(mutation breeding) where an
organism is exposed to
radiation or
chemicals to create a non-
specific but stable change.

Why GMO Exist?
Saves the use of toxic chemicals.
GM crops can be made resistant to pests, so pesticides do not need to be
sprayed on them. This is also better on the environment!
Prevents wasted crops.
If pests cannot eat the crops, nothing goes to waste. Therefore, farmers
make more money!
It could potentially solve hunger.
As genetically modified foods increase the yields of crops,
more food is produced by farmers.
grow foods in different conditions.
strawberries can be genetically engineered to grow in frosts.
Other foods that grow in cold climates could be engineered to grow in hot
climates
(such as Africa where much of the continent does not have enough food).

GMO Labeling Regulations in Malaysia
As of June 14, 2010, new regulations regarding the labeling of genetically
modified organisms (GMOs) in food have been enacted in Malaysia through
amendments to the Food Regulations under the Food
Act 19831.
Malaysian signed the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (CPB) on May 24, 2000
Under Section 2(a) Article 18 of the CPB, there are
requirements that
“living modified organisms that are intended for direct use as
food or feed, or for processing, clearly identifies that they “may
contain” living
modified organisms and are not intended for intentional
introduction into the
environment…”.
“All living modified organisms,
items containing living modified organisms and products of such organisms shall
be clearly identified and labeled in a manner to be prescribed and the
requirements for such identification and labeling shall be in addition to any other written law“.
under Section 61, which states that
“Factors Influencing Malaysian Public Attitudes to Agro-Biotechnology”, (Latifah Amin, 2010, )
objective of implementing mandatory GMO labeling is to provide
consumerswith additional information
and increase consumer choice.
CONCLUSION
Malaysian consumers maybe know about the existence of the GMF but do not have enough understanding of the underlying concept, which might be influencing their purchasing intentions regarding GMF.
CONCLUSION
As Malaysian consumers are found to show greater concerns for the risks
attached with the GM food, it is suggested that more efforts should be
laid by the policymakers from government and industry to increase
knowledge about benefits of GM food.
CONCLUSION
This increased knowledge is a key to help lower the consumers‟ perception level of risks and lever the perceived
quality in turn (Klerck & Sweeney, 2007; Linh, 2009).
