Mandatory “GMO” Labeling Proposals Are Failing Despite Unprecedented Efforts and Expenditure

Campaigners opposed to agricultural innovation pushed for mandatory GM labeling laws in more than 30 State legislatures last year. Only one passed, and that was immediately challenged in court. This expensive and dismal record of success shows that support for GM labels is far weaker than proponents claim. Voters may have noticed they already have multiple ways to choose non GM food if they wish, and they seem to be tiring of fear based campaigns.
