Mandatory Labeling of Genetically Modified Foods labeling of genetically modified foods in the United States of America. Section Two: Congress hereby finds and declares that genetically modified foods should require labeling and identification because the functions of genetic manipulation are only partially understood and can cause critical damage. For years, genetically modified foods have been a controversial issue around the world. There is much controversy over the pros and cons of using genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food production. Genetically modified organisms are organisms whose genetic material has been modified by taking genes from one species and inserting them into another in an attempt to obtain a desired trait that the original species did not possess. Many countries around the world have banned the production of GMOs on their territory. Not only does the United States NOT ban GMOs, but manufacturers are not required to identify or label a product containing GMOs. The public should have the right to know what they are consuming. Genetically modified foods can also increase risks to human health and negatively impact the environment. The human population may be in danger if genetically modified foods are used worldwide. “In 30 countries, including [nations] in Europe, Japan and Australia, GMOs have been banned...or significantly restricted, due to safety concerns,” said Chris Kilham of Fox News , “...other countries are considering more aggressive measures. restrictions against modified foods.
