Labeling Genetically Engineered Food in Vermont Led to Less Opposition of These Foods (3 of 7)

Caption

As national regulators work to develop mandatory GMO food labels, new research by UVM's Jane Kolodinsky finds that consumer opposition to GMOs dropped significantly after Vermont adopted mandatory labels. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the 27 June 2018, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by J. Kolodinsky at University of Vermont in Burlington, VT, and colleagues was titled, "Mandatory labels can improve attitudes toward genetically engineered food."
