ironyak - "I disagree with inferring ingredients - while corn and soy in the US are most likely GMO, the actual variants used do matter. ...... All of these are currently "corn" in the ingredient list. Again, what is the harm in clear labelling?"
my thoughts in response as well to the notion that GMO labeling is unnecessary because we can assume a certain crop is GMO. feels rather circular in it's reasoning and counter to the purpose of listing ingredients in the first place, which is taking the guesswork out of what we ingest as food. plus, the status of the % of crops being GMO could easily change as a result of consumer awareness through labeling itself or any number of other developing factors.
