Are GM foods allowed in the UK?
GM crops have been grown on a few farms in Britain, as an experiment and the government has now said that GM maize can be grown in the UK.

But people have become so worried about GM foods that most of the big supermarkets have banned them.

Most items should say on the label if they contain genetically modified ingredients - you can decide if you're happy to eat them or not.
