Obama signs bill requiring GMO labeling

It’s funny how political winds can shift.

Congress has passed a law requiring mandatory disclosure of genetically modified food ingredients, something the food and agriculture industries have long opposed. Big Food, however, seems overjoyed, while groups that pushed for a labeling law are expressing disappointment.

Just Label It, an advocacy group backed by organic food producers, says the bill passed two weeks ago is filled with loopholes and “falls short of what consumers rightly expect.”

The group is especially angry about a provision that lets food companies disclose their genetically modified ingredients by printing a QR code, which is readable by a smartphone. It would direct consumers to a website with the ingredient information.

For the anti-GMO crowd, that amounts to hiding the information where most people will never see it. -read more
