Non-GMO Label Campaign Gains Ground With Support Of Natural Foods Heavyweights

August 28, 2009: 11:02 AM EST
An organic/natural foods industry watchdog has launched a campaign to gain acceptance of a package label guaranteeing that foods have been rigorously tested and found free of “genetically modified organisms” (GMO). As more U.S. corn, soybeans, canola, and sugar are produced from gene-altered seeds, the Non-GMO Project believes organic/natural foods consumers need to know what they are buying. Long opposed by the biotech industry and questioned as perhaps misleading by the FDA, GMO labeling is gaining momentum as natural foods retailers like Whole Foods Market and Nature’s Path throw their weight behind the campaign.
