Most Americans are wary about genetically engineered food, according to a survey conducted by National Public Radio. Some findings:
Only 25% of respondents say they fully understand what GE food is all about; 64% of respondents are unsure if GE food is safe; and 9 in 10 people agree that GE food ingredients should be labeled.
Americans have been calling for independent food safety testing and mandatory labeling for more than a decade, but these requests continue to fall on deaf ears. Now’s a good time to remind your members of congress and regulatory officials that you’re not the only one concerned. You can access a link to the full survey results in the NPR article.
