Should producers be required to label genetically engineered foods (GMOs)?

I believe that GMOs need to be marked because to have the consumer to have the knowledge to understand what is in them.

How would you feel if you found out your favorite snack contains genetically engineered ingredients?

If you had to choose, would you prefer eating only labeled GMO foods or unlabeled ones for a year, and why?

Imagine a world where all foods are genetically modified; how does that thought impact your food choices?

Should we have the right to know exactly what's in the food we eat, just like we know the fabrics used in our clothes?

Can placing labels on genetically engineered foods change your perception of what is healthy?

Do you think GMO labels would affect your trust in food safety and why?

Consider a supermarket with GMO-labeled products; would you shop differently, and how would that influence your budget?

Has the lack of labeling on genetically engineered foods ever influenced your diet or eating habits, and in what way?

Would mandatory GMO labeling influence your views on the naturalness of food, and how might it affect local farmers?

What would it take for you to feel confident about the safety and quality of genetically modified foods?

Don't they already do that

Yes, I trust the safety of GMOs but believe they should be seperately labled just for customer convencience.

yes , food companies should have to list what is in the product they are selling and they should have to list the side effects of the things in what they are selling

The government should not regulate private businesses

No, don't increase government power in this sector.

no because all foods are geneicly modified

No, keep the government out of it.

I don't now and nor would I care as long it isn't going to kill someone or starve someone to death.

ALL crops we buy are GMOs

Yes, consumers have a right to know what is in their food but it also shouldn't be taught like its harmful because GMOs are the most promising solution to ending world hunger

Yes, and additional labels should be provided to identify whether the food fits various popular diets.

Yes, consumers have a right to know what is in their food

Yes, and further they should list what the GMO change was

This question does not matter to me nor does if affect my life.

Yes, I believe that producers that sell food with GMOs should be labeled because if the people want to know they should know what is in the food and whether it's GMO or not.

Producers should be allowed to label their products in whatever manner they determine their customers prefer. Government intervention adds systemic costs and decreases the flow of information to consumers. Producers who lie or deceive their customers will soon be driven out, perhaps aided by lawsuits in civil courts.

Yes but voluntarily. And I wouldn't purchase one that wasn't labeled.

Yes, but more importantly, label pesticide use.

Yes, but id like the non-GMO products labeled instead from a verified company.

This is not really a top priority for me.

have no idea what they are so I won't answer.

I dont have knowledge on this subject...

Yes, people have the right to know what's in the food they are eating, but a lot of people would prefer for GMOs to be banned, for at least one of these reasons: either because they don't trust the science of the engineering of food, or instead because they don't trust the motives of the food companies selling the food, or both, and to top it all off, we, for thousands of years at that, have had selectively bred crops for thousands of years, and labeling will only and an unfounded stigma TO the science, so if food is not going to be labeled as either being genetically engineere…  Read mored or not genetically engineered, then let's just get rid of it by banning it from being sold by food companies, so that further research into GMOs can continue, without people having to worry about whether the food they're eating was genetically engineered or not, and if it is, not having to worry about the motives of the company who sold it.

Don’t really know or care

Yes, GMO's are very important to keep the world fed for food and prevent famine. However, consumers have the right to know what they are eating.

I do not have enough knowledge on this to give a full answer.

GMOs can help save species so I don't think they need to be labeled.

No, if we labeled crops with GMOs, there would be no crop without a label. GMOs keep everyone healthy and improve the quality of the food.

Yes, they should label it incase someone can’t have GMO food.

No, not for GMOs. But the FDA should be regulating and mandating transparency about humane animal practices, use of antibiotics and toxic pesticides.

Yes, we should know what is in our foods

No, I don't think they would have to but it would be helpful if they did

what is that?

Yes. Not only do customers have a right to know what's in their food, but GMOs shouldn't be as evolved as they are in livestock, nevertheless hidden from consumers.

Yes, but only when there can be a harm to one's health from consumption.

Whether or not the food is labeled as a GMO should be up to the company.

Yes, I trust the science of responsible food engineering but I don’t trust the motives of the food companies selling them, and consumers have a right to know what is in their food

Yes, while I believe that GMOs are perfectly safe and the future towards zero hunger, people also have a right to know.

They should label GMOs, but they shouldn't be required to if they haven't had help from the government while creating the products. Most likely they did, so they most likely will be required.

We should know what we eat because there are some things that people could be allergic to and we would never know

No, because GMOs are typically not bad and most people can even name why they avoid food with GMOs.

Just ban them all

Yes the consumer should know but we have been slectively breeding crops for thousands of yrs

Yes, but we have selectively bred crops for thousands of years so I don't really see the need to. But it's fine if they want t or not

dont really care too much about gmo

No, if the producer wants to then they can but it’s not the governments job to protect our health, people can do that themselves.

No, this would violate the first Amendment

No, this would violate the First Amendment

Producers should label what has been genetically engineered in the food they made so the consumers know exactly what they are getting and are sure that its safe or not.

No, the government has no right to tell producers what they can an can’t do in regards to the labeling of their product.

They already do this.

shi ion know

Yes, however, I don't think the stigma behind them is necessary.
