Argument: Mandatory labeling disincentivizes innovation in food technology

Support

George Misko. “Oppose Mandatory Labeling For Genetically Modified Food Ingredients.” Food & Drug Packaging. July, 1999: “Without innovation, there would be no polio vaccine, no revolution in electronic information available over the internet, and, yes, no disease-resistant, higher-yielding crops to feed the world’s hungry through genetic modification achieved by such traditional means as hybridization. Today, critical advances in biotechnology hold the promise of alleviating hunger and malnutrition, so there can be no compromise when some oppose innovation simply because it is new.”
