“This policy states that the FDA has no basis for concluding that bioengineered foods differ from other foods in any meaningful or uniform way, or that foods developed by the new techniques present any different or greater safety concern.”

+Differing viewpoints
Expert – Barret Kirwan“Those who believe this [non-GMO sustainability] are completely missing the big picture. Locally grown , non-GMO food is beside the point and will never feed the growing population because it’s less productive. There is no need to label our food.”
Stakeholder – Wes King
“There has been a lot of hype over the years that GM products in food will add to sustainability and productivity, but I see little evidence of this. The FDA won’t label because their ultimate worry is that it will require an overwhelming consumer decision and they won’t purchase GM products.”
