Political Economy

JAPAN

The U.S. government agrees that it is important for consumers to have information on foods that have been genetically engineered, and believes there are a number of means other than labeling, such as educational materials and public fora, that can collectively provide more meaningful information to consumers on genetic engineering.

Trade

France

Products which are subject to restrictive regulations include: hormone-fed beef, poultry meat, enriched flour, genetically engineered foods and crops; "exotic meats" such as alligator and buffalo, crayfish, and certain fruits and vegetables which are subject to seasonal price restrictions.
