Mexico Votes to Label GE Foods In another strike against the biotech industry, the Mexican Senate voted unanimously on March 30 to require the labeling of foods that contain genetically engineered ingredients. Under the Mexican measure, genetically modified foods would be required to bear a label reading "transgenic food", and those products that contain some genetically modified ingredients would be labeled, "Foods made with transgenic products." The measure must still be approved by the lower house of congress before going to the president for his signature. It hurts to be Monsanto.
