How “Natural” are Naturally Labeled Foods?


A wide variety of packaged food that carry the label “natural” on US supermarket shelves were found to contain substantial amounts of genetically modified organisms (GMO), according to product testing organization Consumer Reports. Tests on dozens of common food products including breakfast cereals, crisps and infant formula found almost all of them contained recognizable levels of GMOs. The research results has led to Consumer Reports to now call for the mandatory labeling of GMOs in food and a ban on the “natural” label, which suggest products don’t contain the controversial ingredients.
