I, and also on behalf of Senator Xenophon, move:

That the Senate—
(a)
notes reports in Australia that found infant formula had been contaminated with genetically modified (GM) soy and corn;
(b)
acknowledges the significant level of community concern about food labelling and safety issues in Australian food products, particularly those being fed to infants and young children; and
(c)
calls on the Australian Government to introduce clear and effective labelling standards that ensure all GM additives in Australian food products are labelled.

Question negatived.
