Thanks for the response. I too ended up with the "contains material from X" as a requirement (no different from may contain peanuts).
There is still a small chance that someone who did not know they were allergic to Brazil Nuts but already consumes soy products could be impacted by the new product. However I am not sure how to mitigate that and still have GMO food products. From a consumer perspective they could be introduced to allergens that are now present in their "new" existing diet. I would sympathize with a consumer who said "hey I did not change anything and now I am impacted." So in this case labelling would be insufficient. Perhaps the answer is to say that "known allergenic introductions" are not allowed for GMO food.
Many benefits and concerns lie ahead. In such cases, for their sake, the consumer needs access to valuable information.
