According to a statement by the organisation's executive, MTK supports the consumer's right to know about the origin of their food, the way that it was produced, and the possible use of genetically modified feed, or raw material in the production of the food.
MTK is calling for the voluntary labelling of products in every part of the production chain, and urges retailers to make sure that consumers have sufficient information about products.
Under current legislation, there is no need to report the use of genetically modified products in the food chain, as long as the product itself is not from a genetically modified plant or animal.
