G.M.O. Foods Will Soon Require Labels. What Will the Labels Say?


New guidelines for labeling foods that contain genetically modified ingredients have been proposed by the US Department of Algriculture. According to the guidelines, “food  makers will be required by federal law to use the labels, starting in 2020.” The safety of genetically modified ingredients, GMOs, still remains an area of concern for most people. By informing the use of labeling products, consumers are made aware of the possible health risks. 

This article focuses on holding corporations accountable for providing consumers with possible health risk information. This relates to the Pure Food and Drug Act in Apush, because it was one of the first steps towards ensuring the safety of the consumers.
