54. RESEARCH BY
Monsanto (American multinational
agricultural biotechnology corporation
headquartered in Creve Coeur, Missouri.)

55. Corn

56. Monsanto has revealed that half of the US’s sweet corn
farms are planted with genetically modified seed. Mice fed
smaller
with GM corn were discovered to have
offspring and fertility problems.

57. Soy

58. Hamsters fed with GM soy were
unable to have offspring and suffered a
high mortality rate.

59. Rice

60. China Daily, an online journal, reported potential serious public health
and environment problems with genetically modified rice
considering its tendency to cause allergic
reactions with the concurrent possibility of gene transfers.

61. Tomatoes

62. In a test conducted to determine the safety of GM tomatoes, some
animal subjects died within a few weeks after
consuming GM tomatoes

63. Dairy products

64. Milk from cows contains increased levels of IGF-1 (insulin growth factors-1).
Humans also have IGF-1 in their system.
Scientists have expressed concerns that increased levels of IGF-1 in
humans have been associated with colon and breast
cancer.

69. As of June 14, 2010, new regulations
regarding the labeling of genetically
modified organisms (GMOs) in food have
been enacted in Malaysia through

73. Malaysian signed the Cartagena Protocol on
Biosafety (CPB) on May 24, 2000

76. under Section 61, which states that

79. The objective of implementing
mandatory GMO labeling is to
provide consumers
with additional information and
increase consumer choice.

81. Malaysian consumers maybe know about the
existence of the GMF but do not have enough
understanding of the underlying
concept, which might be influencing their
purchasing intentions regarding GMF.

82. As Malaysian consumers are found to show
greater concerns for the risks attached with the
GM food, it is suggested that more efforts
should be laid by the policymakers from
government and industry to increase
knowledge about benefits of GM food.

83. This increased knowledge is a key to help lower
the consumers‟ perception level of risks and
lever the perceived quality in turn (Klerck &
Sweeney, 2007; Linh, 2009).
