The question just had to be asked eventually , didn't  it ?
 
How much of the honey originating from areas which are " experimenting "
with genetically modified plants is likely to contain GM proteins ?
Is it possible to analyse honey to the degree that traces of GM material
could be found or does the modified form of the original GM material
have to be known beforehand ?
We'd better start thinking up a few answers to these questions because
there is a fair old head of steam building up in Europe around the
"blind " i.e. unlabelled supply of GM foodstuffs.
