Approval of the import and/or use of the LMO(s) with conditions
Whole tomatoes and processed food products derived from tomato lines containing event Del/Ros1-N (e.g. purees, concentrates, juices and extracts) will require labelling as ‘genetically modified’, unless an exemption applies (see below).
The label statement ‘genetically modified’ must be made in conjunction with the name of the GM food (subsection 1.5.2—4(3)). If the GM food is present as an ingredient (including an ingredient of a compound ingredient) in a packaged food for sale, this statement may appear in the label other than in the statement of ingredients (see subsection 1.5.2—4(4) for the requirement and paragraph 1.2.1—8(1)(k) for this requirement to apply to a packaged food).
If the food for sale is not required to bear a label because of section 1.2.1—6, then in accordance with section 1.2.1—9, the label statement ‘genetically modified’ must be stated in labelling that accompanies the food or is displayed in connection with the display of the food (paragraphs 1.2.1—9(3)(b) and (ba) and subsection 1.2.1—9(2)). The retail sale scenarios listed below are examples where this information requirement will apply to tomato lines containing event Del/Ros1-N: 9
• Unpackaged, fresh, whole tomatoes.
• Whole or cut fresh tomatoes when sold in a package that does not obscure the nature or quality of the food.
• A food product containing a tomato ingredient that is displayed in an assisted service display cabinet.

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)).
