Consumer opposition to GMO foods fell 19% after Vermont introduced mandatory GMO labels, says new UVM research in The Atlantic, Newsweek, Bloomberg, NPR and others.
Published in Science Advances, the study shows that a simple GMO disclosure can improve consumer attitudes.
“Our findings put to bed the idea that GMO labels will be seen as warnings,” said Jane Kolodinsky, a Gund Institute for Environment Fellow and chair of UVM’s Dept. of Community Development and Applied Economics.
