Governing - For activists trying to lift the movement to label foods containing genetically modified organisms, progress has been halting. Not a single ballot initiative has passed, even in places where support would seem high, and only one state has a labeling law with a date set for it to take effect. But they’re hoping that will change this November in Oregon, where the first-ever ballot initiative flopped more than a decade ago, but where things might have changed enough to make passage possible this time around.
Oregon is one of two western states voting on ballot initiatives that would require producers and retailers to label raw and packaged foods that contain genetically modified ingredients, with some exceptions, including food served in restaurants.
