Lancet to publish Pusztai's GM food research

4 October 1999

Following reports that research by Dr Arpad Pusztai on GM food is to be published in the Lancet, Pete Riley, Food Campaigner at Friends of the Earth said:

“We are delighted that Dr Pusztai's work on GM food will finally be published in a peer reviewed scientific journal. Jack Cunningham, Sir Robert May and all the other politicians, officials and scientists who tried to rubbish Dr Pusztai and his work owe him a sincere and public apology.

Scientific concerns about the safety of GM foods are clearly real. This is why the Government should call a five year freeze on GM food so that more comprehensive research into this new technology can take place.”
