Labeling genetically modified organisms

This process helps reduce susceptibility to disease, improve flavor, and reduce overall costs. Most of these foods, however, do not have a genetically modified organism (GMO) label. [Pg.139]

The "certified organic label on a food means that the producers of the food followed these rules they did not use any synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers to grow crops or feed for animals they did not use crops or feed that had been genetically modified, fertilized with sewage sludge, or irradiated they did not feed animals the byproducts of other animals they gave animals access to the outdoors and treated them humanely and they were inspected to make sure they followed the rules in letter and in spirit. [Pg.109]

While the precise definition is still cheinging, everyone agrees that organic foods are those grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. The orgemic label edso frequently excludes the use of irradiation and genetically modified fruits and vegetables. Whether the food tastes better, or is healthier to eat, is for you (or at least someone other than us) to say. [Pg.44]
