Did that California Proposition 37 pass?
No, it didn’t. In what was probably the most controversial packaging-related measure under consideration in the U.S. this year, that state initiative would have required foods containing genetically modified ingredients to say so on their labels. Federal law doesn’t require it (though it’s required in many other countries.) The fight in California between proponents and opponents was loud and expensive, and for at least part of the time leading up to the election, polls suggested it would pass. But in the end, it was defeated by several percentage points.
