Packaging and labeling

contains, but do shoppers ever think to check if what they are holding has been labeled with the letters ‘GMO’? Currently, 64 countries have demanded genetically altered foods to be distinguished and made the labeling of them a requirement. In the U.S., Vermont was the first to pass the labeling of GM foods as a law, and will start in 2016 (Gasparro).

some food labeling is misleading about the product by stating that “Complicating the lack of alternatives is the lack of information about what exactly, we’re consuming. There are no calorie information charts on fast-food packaging, the way there are on grocery items. Advertisements don’t carry warning the way tobacco ads do.

What is the governments role with GMOs? The Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act, which is part of the government, would have the Health Agency require labels saying that it is a genetically modified…

healthily, organic and wholesome meals has raised big concerns about what we put into our bodies and how our food is labeled. Recently congress has been voting on food manufactures to disclose genetically modified organisms know as G.M.O on food packaging. Big Food Company’s try to hide the fact that they use many G.M.O ingredients in their foods but consumers want to know what they are consuming. Recently the FDA approved the sale of the first genetically engineered animal for human…

Creating a standardized, consistent, uniform labeling system would help create less confusion about when a food is considered bad.
