There are generally two main points of view when considering genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The two groups include the pro camp, which fully supports GMOs, and the anti-camp, which is completely against GMOs. Between the two groups there are significant differences of opinion, scientific studies are interpreted with clear disparities and the proposed long-term benefits are intensely argued. Due to varying feelings regarding GMOs, governments and consumers have been unable to agree on laws to regulate GMO research or implementation. Acceptance of GMOs Biotechnology used in agriculture is a widely debated practice, and its uses and applications are not fully accepted everywhere. the globe. Countries develop their own regulations for the production, cultivation and importation of genetically modified (GM) crops due to the inability of all countries to agree and adopt international laws regarding GMOs (Martinelli, Karbarz and Siipi, 2013). Governments are feeling the pressure to satisfy their citizens' demands for documentation, management and safety of genetically modified foods, while at the same time promoting the sale and use of permitted genetically modified foods for economic purposes ( Hellier et al., 2012). To meet their need for safety regarding GMOs, consumers are demanding that mandatory labeling practices be implemented. Concerns About GMOs Consumer demand for labeling practices is in direct opposition to what pro-GMO activists believe is in the public's best interest. Very little research has been published regarding product labeling and how design and formulation can potentially positively or negatively affect the consumer. GMO lobbyists resist the practice of mandatory GMO labeling...... middle of paper ......, & Siipi, H. (2013). Science, safety and trust: the case of transgenic foods.
