Recent revelations about genetically modified (GM) foods have left many consumers wondering what is in the food they eat. Consumers International, an independent, non-profit organisation with more than 200 member-groups worldwide, recently added a new food section to its website.

It includes various arguments for and against the genetic engineering of food. Other areas of consumer interest are trade, environment, electronic commerce, consumer legislation, advertising and patients' rights. Website: http://193.128.6.150/consumers/ campaigns/index.html
