This is from January and it spells bad news for the fight against GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) in our food supply. Apparently 'natural' foods are allowed to contain GMOs whereas certified organic foods are GMO-free. Over 90% of the public in several surveys favor labeling foods that contain GMOs but Whole Foods and Organic Valley have now agreed to cease lobbying against products which are not required to be safety tested.
