5. All seeds supplied by KWS UK Ltd are of conventional varieties bred from parent plants, which have not been genetically modified. All reasonable steps have been taken to prevent the adventitious presence of GM material during breeding, production and handling of this seed (including complying with any separation distances as may be recommended from time to time by relevant bodies). This seed is field grown. Accordingly, no guarantees of absolute freedom from GM impurities can be given since this does not, and cannot, exist in nature. No liability is accepted whatsoever arising from the possible occurrence of any adventitious traces of GM impurities in the seeds.
