The Biotechnology is developed in a dynamic and accelerated way on the world stage, as well as genetic engineering and environment, as a biotechnological technique, especially genetically modified organisms, object of this work, in view of this technological acceleration, it is necessary to insert ethics and its principles amidst a scenario of constant change. Regarding transgenic foods, many discussions are raised in the field of philosophy, ethics, politics, society, economics, international law, environmental law, consumer law and among many other areas that are directly impacted by the use of this technology, especially since the theme, discussed here, is part of people's daily lives and in view of this dynamic reality, the legal framework of the countries are not keeping up with the speed of technology, so science then dissociated from regulation that control efficiently and satisfactorily becomes a political and economic instrument. In the present work we analyze international laws, laws related to the use of genetically modified organisms, especially the Biosecurity Law, with an analysis of important legal points regarding the activity involving the genetically modified organism, the relevance of Environmental Law, especially in the which refers to the Environmental Impact Study prior to the release of products from these genetic modifications in the environment and consequently for animal and human consumption, always emphasizing the need for a rigorous analysis of the whole process involving transgenic foods, in compliance with the Precautionary Principle regarding the minimization of risks and also discusses on consumer rights, highlighting the need for labeling of genetically modified foods clearly and visibly, as well as a suggestion of legislative changes that could eventually be used as a bill to be referred to the Brazilian National Congress.
