Yes, for now, it looks like we have won the GMO labeling war. A few weeks ago, Campbell's caved. They announced they would be labeling the soups that contain GMOs. Now, General Mills announced they will be doing the same. It seems that since the D.A.R.K. act failed, these companies have no choice but to comply with Vermont label laws that go into effect on July 1st!
Funny thing though .... The food industry cried that these labels are going to take a very long time to make, and raise the cost of food. Not that the words "New and Improved" or "Gluten free" would cause it. They seem to have room and ability to duo that.
General Mills said they will use the labels across the country, cuz it's more cost effective to do it that way. Which funny to say, is exactly what the anti-GMO campaign has been saying.
Now I have a hard decision to make ... Will I finally start buying their organic products that they have under different labels?
