Result of the decision
Approval of the import and/or use of the LMO(s) with conditions
Refined products from sugar beet line KWS20-1 (such as sugar) are unlikely to contain any novel DNA or novel protein and will be unlikely to require labelling as ‘genetically modified’. 
Less refined products derived from sugar beet line KWS20-1 (such as molasses) that contain novel DNA or novel protein require labelling as ‘genetically modified’. 
EN
Section 1.5.2-4 of the Food Standards code generally requires a food for sale that consists of a GM food or shas a GM food as an ingredient to be labelled as 'genetically modified' unless one off the exemptions listed in that subsection apply. Where required, the label statement 'genetically modified' must be made in conjunction with the name of the GM food (subsection 1.5.2-4(2)). If the GM food is present in the food for sale as an ingredient, this statement may be included in the statement of ingredients for the food for sale (subsection 1.5.2-4(3)).
