products. Under the new rules, all foods that ___ (contains, contain, can contain) point-nine
percent or more of genetically modified organisms must be labeled. Even foods produced

genetically changed animal feed.

nineties. But some countries put in place ___ (the, a, an) unofficial ban in nineteen-ninety-

Trade Organization.

Mister Zoellick said the E-U ban has hurt not only American farmers but also hungry
people in Africa. He said "irresponsible" statements about food safety have caused ___

number of countries are joining the effort to end the E-U ___ (policy, politics, police). He
also pointed to studies that show genetically changed foods to be safe.

The vote by the European Parliament has cleared the way to remove the ban. But this is not
the end of the issue. The E-U is also requiring that full and complete records ___ (kept, be
kept, are being kept) on genetically changed products. The E-U calls this “traceability.” It
means that documents must show how genetically changed products moved through the
food supply.

They say they are also concerned that Europeans will not want to buy foods labeled as
genetically changed. There are ___ (any, some, no) such requirements in the United States.

European Union officials say the issue is not about safety. They say Europeans want to be
able to choose what they eat.
