You can label foods that are GMO free if you are catering to the small minority of people that care. Labeling all foods that contain GMOs is just silly and wasteful. And it implies something is wrong with the product or that they could be unsafe.
It doesn't make any more sense than labeling everything that contains DNA. Which as this article states, most consumers would prefer. And many think it is unsafe, and would avoid such foods!
- colordrops 10y agoNo. Aspartame and Sodium Benzoate have been scientifically tested to be generally safe, but they must be listed on the label. No two genetic modifications are the same, and aren't all just inherently safe. They are safe because each one has been tested. You are making a logical error when you compare genetic modifications to DNA. DNA is just four amino acids, and the arrangement doesn't change the nutritional content. What if you made a GMO apple with no sugar that contained aspartame. Should that not be labeled? Different genetic modifications can produce different results, from increasing vitamins to creating toxins. It's NOT the same.
