Today, more than 200 "eco-labels" can be seen on food packaging around the world. The labels provide a variety of information, including how the food is grown, whether the price paid to farmers is fair and reasonable, and how animals are treated.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also requires manufacturers to provide all kinds of information, including calorie content and peanut hazards, on their packaging so that consumers can know.
But in Vermont, when it comes to genetically modified (GE) food, consumers have too little information.
On May 8, the GM label ushered in a historic moment. The Governor of Vermont, Peter Shumlin, signed Vermont State Act 122 that day, making the state the first mandatory GM ingredient in the United States. Food labels on the state. In addition, the law will also mean that foods containing genetically modified raw materials in the state cannot be declared "natural" or "naturally produced" on the packaging.
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has the responsibility to provide information to consumers so as not to cause confusion in the market." Scott Faber of Just Label It Campaign commented in a telephone interview after signing the bill: “Because GM foods are different from conventional foods, they are obviously different products. But if you don't label it - consumers can't distinguish between the two."
Since 1992, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has treated genetically modified foods and non-genetically modified foods on the same level and does not require them to be labeled individually. However, the Department of Commerce of the United States has always granted patents on genetically modified foods, which shows that genetically modified foods are different from ordinary foods and are sufficient to apply for legal protection.
Gary Hirshberg, the chairman and co-founder of Stonyfield Farm and a supporter of the labeling campaign, said: “There is a fundamental issue of hypocrisy and disconnection, either. Plants cannot be patented because they all have the same taste, appearance and odor, or they can be patented because they are different things. The situation in 1992 was very different from the present - GM crops are now widespread, people think You know what they are eating."
This law mandates that all food in Vermont be labelled from 2016 onwards.
At the same time, 20 Other states, including New York State, Massachusetts, and Oregon, are preparing legislation or holding referendums for genetically modified tags.
