For the first time in the U.S., food packages may soon be required to disclose through labeling if a product includes genetically modified organisms. On Thursday, the Senate passed bipartisan legislation supporting a federal mandatory labeling system for GMO products by a vote of 63-30.

“Today marks a significant milestone in the fight for a more transparent food system,” says Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., ranking member of the Senate Agriculture Committee. “This bipartisan bill ensures that consumers and families throughout the United States will have access, for the first time ever, to information about their food through a mandatory, nationwide label for food products with GMOs. The advocates that helped raise this issue to a national level should be proud of this accomplishment.”
