Campbell Soup Co. now supports mandatory labeling of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which means the company will disclose if any of its products contain GMOs.
“The company will advocate for federal legislation that would require all foods and beverages regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be clearly and simply labeled for GMOs,” Campbell’s Soup stated in a news release. “Campbell is also supportive of a national standard for non-GMO claims made on food packaging.”
According to the New York Times, Campbell’s Soup is the first major company to disclose the presence of GMOs in its products. At this point, other companies have only created labels indicating no use of GMOs or have reformulated products to replace these ingredients.
