The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's (KSA) regulations allow the importation of biotech plant products, but they must be labeled if they contain more than 1% genetically engineered (GE) plant ingredients. As a result, many retail packaged food importers do not import biotech foods because they fear that biotech labeling could damage their image. However, Saudi Arabia imports large quantities of biotech U.S. corn and soybeans. KSA, as well as Gulf Standardization Organization (GSO) regulations, prohibit the import of genetically modified animals, birds, and fish. Biotech planting seeds are permitted for import, but there are currently no ongoing commercial development activities for GE plants in Saudi Arabia.
