Good news on the GMO labeling fight!

We've posted previously on the "Just Label It" campaign in California, which unfortunately lost by a slim margin in 2012.  The good news on that front was the groundswell it created, prompting other states to push for labeling.  It's a rocky battle, but the trend is clear - people want transparency in the foods they eat.

One recent victory was General Mills' decision to remove genetically modified ingredients from Cheerios.  While the company's website goes to great lengths in espousing the safety of GMOs, they recognize that "some consumers remain uncomfortable with GMOs" and therefore they have chosen to ensure that Cheerios will be GMO-free.

Further, while they continue to oppose state-by-state labeling laws, they support nationally standardized labeling of non-GMO products in the U.S.  Very good news, indeed.
