"U.S. Senate Passes GMO Labeling Bill" [1]

"The U.S. Senate on Thursday approved legislation that would for the first time require food to carry labels listing genetically-modified ingredients (GMOs).

The Senate voted 63-30 for the bill that would display GMO contents with words, pictures or a bar code that can be scanned with smartphones."

Chris Prentice reports for Reuters July 8, 2016. [2]
