The Burlington Free Press reports that the Vermont Senate passed a bill that could make Vermont the first state to require labeling of foods that contain genetically modified organisms (GMO).

As of July 1, 2016, the bill will require labels on food products that contain genetically modified ingredients. Food manufacturers believe around 70-80% of packaged food on a typical supermarket’s store shelves would need to be labeled.
