in synchronization with the rest of Asia and australiasia, some of the
pacific island nations might drag their feet but as most of their processed
foods are imported from larger Asian countrys with no relabeling or
repackaging in most cases the labels will be there fom the beginning of the
new year. australia included. and our level of undisclosed GM contamination
is set at %.1 percent of any ingredient. well below the European levels of
%1 for any ingredient.

good luck selling the stuff America, seems like this is the catalyst for
many nations that until now have kowtowed to the USA to take a stand,
united we can resist the American corporate fascism.
