The American advocacy group Natural Society has launched a petition against the latest “Non-GMO labels” introduced by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The Natural Society demands that an independent party be brought in to hold USDA accountable for non-GMO certifications.
Anthony Gucciardi, co-founder of Natural Society, says that the USDA, in the past has given special treatment to companies such as Monsanto, leading to uncertainty about their foods and the amount of GMOs in them.

According to a press release by Natural Society, the USDA and FDA have made exceptions for certain GMO-containing products by declaring them as GMO free.
Gucciardi demands that the people should push the government for more rigorous control and credibility of the USDA when it comes to the food they eat.
