Starting in July, food makers selling products in Vermont will be required to label items containing genetically modified (GMO) ingredients. Food manufacturers Campbell Soup, ConAgra Foods, General Mills, Kellogg’s, and Mars have said they will comply. Moreover, the labels will appear on products nationwide.
