Standards also will come into force: GSTU CEH/TS 15568:2008 and GSTU ISO 21569:2008 (food. Methods of identification of genetically modified organisms and their derivatives). Standards will come into force also: GSTU ISO 24276:2008 and GSTU ISO 21571:2008.
Ukraine will introduce marking for production containing gennomodifitsirovanny organisms, after that as the effective monitoring system will be created.
In UKRAINE the DLYA NATIONAL STANDARDS of PRODUCTION CONTAINING GMO are APPROVED
Since May 1, 2008 in Ukraine standards of methods of identification of genetically modified organisms and their derivatives in foodstuff will start to operate. National standards will be accepted on the basis of international by "a confirmation method.

Genetically modified sources (GMI) contain not only in a number of vegetable cultures, but also in sausages, canned meat, pelmeni, cheese, yogurts, porridges, candies, chocolate etc.
