This last statement from the

Court of Justice of the European Union
PRESS RELEASE No 5/11
Luxembourg, 9 February 2011
Advocate General’s Opinion in Case C-442/09
Karl Heinz Bablok and Others v Freistaat Bayer
http://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2011-02/cp110005en.pdf

is worrysome

"Finally the Advocate General concludes that the unintentional presence in
honey, even of a minute
quantity of pollen from MON 810  maize, means that  *such honey must be the
subject of an*
*authorisation to be placed on the market*.  In that regard, the fact that
the pollen in question
comes from a GMO authorised for deliberate release into the environment and
the fact that certain
other products from that GMO  may lawfully be marketed  as food are not
decisive because the
honey containing that pollen is not covered by an authorisation issued under
Regulation
1829/2003."
