佛蒙特州成為了第一個(gè)要求將包含轉(zhuǎn)基因成分的食品在標(biāo)簽上表明的州。這一法令的出臺(tái)使越來越多的消費(fèi)者能夠(36) 獲取信息。但是如何使消費(fèi)者獲得助益還不得而知，因?yàn)榭茖W(xué)家認(rèn)為這種被廣泛使用的(37) 成分無害。
從2016年7月1日起，佛蒙特州出售的所有的轉(zhuǎn)基因食品必須在包裝上清晰地標(biāo)有“基因(38)工程制”的字樣。這項(xiàng)法案是由該州(39) 州長(zhǎng)皮特•舒姆林在5月8號(hào)簽署的。康涅狄格州和緬因州也通過了類似的法律，但這些法律都僅在有其它州參與的情況下才生效。佛蒙特州是第一個(gè)要求轉(zhuǎn)基因食品(40) 無條件進(jìn)行標(biāo)注的州。

位于福特柯林斯市的科羅拉多大學(xué)的植物遺傳學(xué)者帕特里克•拜恩說他(43) 并未發(fā)現(xiàn)任何轉(zhuǎn)基因食品對(duì)人類有害的證據(jù)。他說： “如果所有的假設(shè)和讓人害怕的信息得以傳播，我想標(biāo)簽很有可能不被看作是一種中立的信息，而(44)被理解為是一種警告：你可能想要避免使用這個(gè)產(chǎn)品。”拜恩說： “你可能會(huì)想：大家會(huì)更擔(dān)心是否有更多的(45) 農(nóng)藥殘留，或者糞肥是否被用于生產(chǎn)這種食物。”
