Europe and the US have taken different approaches to labeling GMO foods. In Europe, manufacturers have to label all genetically modified foods. In the US, they are only required to label foods with significantly different nutritional or allergenic properties.

This difference in policy has affected the popularity of GMOs. The loose policy of the USA has made America the leader of GMOs around the world. There are currently 172 million acres of GMO crops in the United States, and 90 percent of American soybeans, canola, cotton, and corn are genetically modified.

In the absence of reliable independent long-term nutritional studies, the safety of GMOs is unknown. Increasingly, consumers are taking matters into their own hands and choosing to forgo GMO products.

Some of the situations that should cause consumers to be concerned about GMOs are:

• GMOs are not always extensively tested. The shortest GMO testing periods are just 90 days, and many fear it is not enough to detect all the risks.
• GMOs can affect allergy sufferers in unpredictable ways.
• While GMOs have been developed to reduce the amount of pesticides used, this is not always the case. As weeds and bacteria become resistant to pesticides, farmers use more safely, knowing that the crop will not be affected.
• GMO products are often not clearly labeled, which means that people
• It means that there is no option to decide whether or not to consume GMO products.
• GMO testing often involves conducting experiments on animals that some people consider a violation of animal rights.

For all these reasons, the NON GMO label and certification is extremely important, especially in consumer purchasing decisions.
