<p>An incredible number of products in the dollar store are labelled as GMO, and it is important that all food manufacturers label them so we can avoid stuff that contains these poisons! Tests show that lab animals fed GMOs had many health problems!<br>

<p>USDA regulations will determine whether genetically engineered ingredients are identified on product labels, or hidden behind high tech codes. Genetically engineered (GE) foods pose risks that are not considered by regulators. Consumers have a right to know
whether the products they buy contain GE ingredients. This information should be on the product label.<br>

<br>
A “compromise” bill on labeling genetically engineered food was passed last year, leaving it to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to decide which foods would be labeled, and how they would be labeled. In preparation for drafting regulations, the USDA
Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) has posed 30 questions regarding the implementation of the law. AMS is accepting input until Monday, July 17. This is a chance to help shape USDA’s proposal.<br>
<br>
The law includes labeling options other than on-package labeling, such as QR codes and websites, which would only serve to hide the information this law was passed to provide. It also allows USDA to decide which GE ingredients must be disclosed. Tell USDA:</p>
<ul>
<li>The definition of “bioengineering” must include all forms of genetic engineering, including newer forms like CRISPR and RNA interference (RNAi). Definitions should be compatible with those recommended by the National Organic Standards Board.
</li><li>Each GE ingredient must be identified, including highly refined GE sugars and oils and processed corn and soy ingredients. Even if they are so highly processed that the GE ingredients are present only at undetectable levels in the final product, they are
still GE foods. </li><li>GE ingredients must be identified on product labels, or product shelves in the case of raw foods. All products required to have labels should include identification of GE ingredients on the label.
</li><li>There must be no delays in making regulations effective. Manufacturers have already had years’ worth of notice and preparation to provide this information, at the state and federal level. Indeed, many major food companies have been labeling for some time.
</li></ul>
<p>The most dependable way to avoid GE ingredients is to buy organic, but all consumers have a right to know what is in their food.</p>
