The stalled European constitution grants civil society the right to call for legislation. Greenpeace claims that there are "vast” loopholes in the European Union law that exempts products from labeling requirements.
Products like cooking oil and cake mix have to be labeled if the ingredients include 0.9 percent GMO's but meat, eggs and milk do not have to be labeled.
