Do we put on the label "Contains tomatoes", or "Contains GMO tomatoes", or "Contains GMO tomatoes picked by a left-handed person".
They all convey the same amount of useful knowledge - that the soup contains tomatoes.
Whether they are GMO or not, is just as important as whether they were picked by a left-handed person. That is, not at all.
You might think GMO is important, other people might think the left-handedness is. Is that a reason for putting useless information on the label?
There is no evidence that a foodstuff being GMO would adversely affect the consumer.
