Interesting news. General Mills, the cereal maker, will begin labeling its products (probably most of them) with Genetically Modified Organisms (“GMOs”). This is because they need to comply with a Vermont law and it costs too much to change packaging for one state.
General Mills Inc. decided it’s waited long enough for Congress to act on GMOs.
The food giant, which makes Cheerios and Lucky Charms cereal, will start citing genetically modified organisms on its products across the U.S. in coming weeks after a bid to create a national standard died in the Senate.
A law requiring GMO labels on some food products is set to go into effect July 1 in Vermont, and General Mills said it wasn’t plausible to create packaging for only one state. In January, Campbell Soup Co. became the first major food company to announce that it would start adding GMO labels to products with ingredients such as corn, soy, sugar and beets.

Frankenfood or totally safe, at least now you can decide with knowledge of what is in your food.
