Large manufacturers may know. A small company that makes and sells cakes may not know whether the flour they use is GMO or not. And the vague label GMO doesn't tell you a thing about whether that food is safe or healthy.

Lol, if the flour or meal is labeled, then the small company knows whether what they use is GMO or not. 25 or 50 pounds sacks would be labeled just like the smaller quantities in a supermarket

And you just can't admit that Big Brother government and self-interested sellers should not be colluding to decide what consumers should and should not know about a product.

I just mentioned that for 50 years, Big Government and Big Food have deluded everyone with incorrect, and probably harmful information about cholesterol and what foods are or are not heart healthy. I ignored most of that advice as did many others because they did not believe it.

Consumers have a right to basic information about the food that is offered for sale, and there is NO reason to even imagine that a collusion of Big Government and Big Food acting as Big Brother know what the hell they are talking about. History proves they are incompetent or too corrupt to be left to decide what folks should and should not know.

The vague GMO label is meaningless by itself.

The federal government shouldn't be involved with food at all, since congress isn't given that authority in Art 1, Section 8 of the Constitution.

I'm against government solutions to problems. They just cause more problems.

Meaningless information doesn't help the consumer. A notice that food may have been processed on equipment that may have processed wheat, eggs, or peanuts is pretty darn useless, but it's on the label.
