GMO labeling will hit organic farmers

Mischa Popoff, a professional critic of the organic movement, says a proposal to force labeling of genetically-modified foods would blindside the organic farming movement.

The proposal would set a standard for GMO content in organic products and that, says Popoff, will take a lot of organic products off the market in the United States.

While there are tolerance limits for pesticide residues, there are no tolerance limits for GMO content now, he says in an article for The Daily Caller, an internet newspaper.

Popoff predicts there will be lawsuits if the GMO labeling proposals become law.


He has been critical of the organic movement for taking a strong stance against GMOs.
