Dear Sir or Madam,

Four out of five toddler food products on supermarket shelves are ultra-processed — and nearly half exceed international limits for sugar, sodium or calories. Meanwhile, a German family-owned biscuit maker is crossing the Atlantic to acquire an American brand with almost 50 years of history. At the same time, the EU has introduced a new legal framework for gene-edited crops that promises faster, more climate-resilient agriculture — though questions around patents and market concentration remain unresolved.
