(Wines&Vines) - On Nov. 6, voters in California will decide the fate of a proposed law that would require new labels for genetically engineered (GE) foods and ingredients. Under Proposition 37, any food with GE ingredients would need to be labeled as such, and the state Department of Public Health would be responsible for regulating labeling. The law also would allow private parties to sue companies that failed to label their products as well as retailers that sold GE products without proper labeling. Food made with GE products could not use the term “natural.”
