The US House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday that would change the way companies label genetically-engineered (GE) foods sold in this country, often referred to as GMOs…In remarks emailed to Tech Insider, William Hallman, chair of the Department of Human Ecology at Rutgers University, noted that the bill as written only applies to particular “recombinant forms of genetic engineering, and might exclude products with genes edited using CRISPR or other methods.” He also noted that products that don’t include DNA, like sugar or olive oil, might not require labeling.
