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.

I always think that we should see what's in our foods because it;s how we survive day to day.
