Although genetically modified foods are currently labeled in Canada and Europe the United States has yet to label there foods so that the American people know are ingesting.  Consumers in Canada and Europe know what they are buying at the point of purchase.  In the United States however we do not receive that information.  There are toll free numbers on some packaging, however this does not help when purchasing.  Animals that are genetically modified are not labeled in the United States as well as Canada and Europe.  A study shows that only about 60% of Americans know that that they are eating genetically modified foods.  If foods were labeled as genetically modified it would at least get people wondering what they were eating and they would be curious to find out more about genetically modified foods.  One reason that food isn’t labeled is that companies are more concerned with profit and don’t want to commit to labeling.  With proper labeling the decision to consume a genetically modified food becomes the consumers, not the corporations.
