Currently, GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) foods in the United States are not classified differently by the FDA and do not require labeling. Although no reports of ill effects from GMO foods have been documented, advocacy groups such as Greenpeace and the Organic Consumers Association argue that past studies cannot be trusted because they were sponsored by pro-GMO companies and do not measure the long-term effects on humans, the environment, and nature. Opponents argue that labeling adds an unfounded stigma over organic foods and that if a nutritional or allergenic difference were found, current FDA regulations would already require a label.

No, but suggest on the label that food is probably genetically engineered and the effects that have on humans.
yes, they should because there could be stuff in the item or product that someone can't have because they are allergic to them.
Yes, and ban them, and then punish them
Yes, consumers have a right to know what is in their food, and Yes, I trust the science of responsible food engineering but I don’t trust the motives of the food companies selling them
I don't really care. GMO's aren't bad but they are demonized.
No, but it should be recommended.
i dont really care what im eating, if i like it i like it
What does this even mean
I believe the people should be able to know what is and isn't genetically modified for health reasons but in the end of the day most food we eat are GMO. Most fruits and veggies did not look like what we eat today thousands of years ago and its better that way.
It would be nice to know what foods are GMO and it should be recommended but I wouldn’t require it
if its bad for you then yes
yes but it should be the consumer who finds what in there food
Different for each person, labeling it won’t hurt anything or anyone
Why? most of our food is genetically modified.
Combination. People deserve the choice of eating reasonably priced organic food grown both locally and from afar
yes only if they do it for health reasons and not just to substitute
I'm am neutral in this issue
Yes, but I would prefer to use GMOs more to prevent worldwide hunger.
I think that they should be on foods that have high GMOS
yes but only if is needed.
while its good for you and GMOs are the future, label them just to give people peace of mind as adjustment takes place.
I think that they shouldn't make processed food because all its doing is killing off people because people can get addicted to sugar and get diabetes and then end up dying.
IM ONLY 13 IDK what this is.
I seriously don’t know anything about this topic
It's fine just labeling if it doesn't have gmo's
its in everything i think it is a little bit late to change that now
Yes they should say what they are putting into their food like vaccines which we know what is in that I think we should know what is being used on our food maybe mark it as experimental so people who are willing to eat said food pay less for it and they can be "guinea pigs"
Yes, consumers have the right to know what they’re eating but producers should not be allowed to patent food.
I believe that there's a lot of things we don't have all the answers to yet but I agree that gmos are not the worst thing we can put into our bodies noir do I believe they are that bad, but the point of them is to be able to sustain enough food now that we live in a world where most people don't grow their food. without gmo's mass producers of food business/industries rely on making money and good products for everybody so in order to give the same experience for more people at a lower price and a sustainably amount of food gmo's are more good than bad.
Depends, for example plant base meat that good but if its to add taste and color than will effect us then no.
I don't have the full knowledge to decide on this situation
No, but genomes shouldn't be allowed to be patented.
I think that we should not eat food with chemicals in them
it does not matter to me.
Yes, only if it doesn't harm anybody.
its just not natural food because it might be bad for you body
I don't have good knowledge of this so I can´t give my opinion about it
almost all food is genetically modified so it would be useless
It shouldn't matter what lable needs to be put on a food
Yes, and decrease pricing for allergy free foods.
I think that consumers have a right to know whats in the food they are buying but so do the people eating the food, as it affects them.
i need more info about this
Yes, we have selectively bred crops for thousands of years, I trust the science of responsible food engineering, and consumers have a right to know what is in their food
maybe if its health sure and don't choke you like a Popeyes biscuit
Yes, i trust the science of responsible food engineering but the consumer has a right to know
is food really apart of politics?
Too many loop holes where someone gets one ingredient in a product that’s gmo free and claims gmo free. I’d prefer a label that shows where it comes from and make sure that it’s up to our safety standards
I don’t understand the question
Every organism in our world is or has been genetically modified. I think that producers should explain how and/or why they genetically modified something as to lessen the fear of the acronym GMO
Yes, but people should be more educated about GMOs to be against the unfounded stigma to the scientific community.
I don't really know about this.
I don’t really care what they name it .
People deserve to know EVERY ingredient they are consuming! It should be added
There shouldn't be GMOs at all
It depends what kinda food label to change it.
yes, but we should make it public knowledge what gmos actually are because most people only dislike them due to ignorance and fearmongering
I believe that foods containing genetically modified organisms should be labelled, not necessarily because of any nutritional or allergenic differences, but rather so that those who do not wish to consume any GMOs, for any reason they may have, can keep to their dietary preferences without unknowingly consuming something they do not want.
it depends on their health
don't really know what they are asking me
I don't have great knowledge of this, sorry.
Pretty much food is food
not enough knowledge on this topic
I think it depends on the product and what it contains.
Being honest GMOs should be banned, genetically engineered foods are not good.
Don't really understand this question.
I dont really know about this one.
Producers should be allowed to label however they want and let the market decide the outcome.
I don't really know anything about this so I can't give a good response.
food should be free because there is enough for the whole world, no one should suffer from starving
