Turkey's Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock (MinFAL) published on May 28, 2014, an amendment to the "Regulation on GMO and Its Products". The amendment defines "contamination" and establishes a 0.9% threshold at and under which products are considered "contaminated". However, the amendment does not clearly explain how “contamination” changes the ability to market products or commodities with unapproved biotech traits. Currently Turkey has approved only 14 of 22 corn and 3 of 4 soybean events for feed use; none for food use.
