After Oregon approved placing a genetically modified organism (GMO) labeling law on the November ballot, the Coalition for Safe and Affordable Food is saying the initiative would cause confusion and raise prices at the grocery store.
The Oregon Secretary of State’s Office certified the signatures needed to qualify the initiative for the ballot last week, according to the USA Today. The Oregon initiative would require foods containing genetically modified organisms to carry a label bearing the words “genetically engineered” on the package.
