Breakdown of GMO Labeling Laws in Each Country (Global Map)
Are you aware of the GMO labeling laws implemented around the world? While the United States and Canada have virtually no GE food labeling laws, countries like Russia, Australia, Italy, and more have mandatory labeling of nearly all GE foods. Just below you can view a global map of all the countries and their current status with GE labeling laws.
Where do we Stand?
There is no question now that GMOs are (AT LEAST) potentially dangerous, and are part of an astronomically-large global experiment. This is why Hungary destroyed all Monsanto GMO corn fields just a few years ago, and why nations like France, the U.K., and India took a stand against Monsanto and GMOs alike. This is why Italy banned some of Monsanto’s corn with 80% public support, and the nation of Bhutan decided to go 100% organic.
So what will it take to win over the government agencies and institute proper GMO labeling? Will it take 800 scientists to demand an end to this global GMO experiment? Or will enough March Against Monsanto’s ignite the final spark we need to label these questionable foods?
We have made some tremendous progress through our extreme activism – progress that affects the future more than we know. With the continued fight for GMO labeling, and ultimately the discontinuance of GMOs altogether, we are protecting not only our own rights, bodies and our children, but also generations to come.
Breakdown of GMO Labeling Laws by Country (According to the Map):

- New Zealand – Requires mandatory labeling of nearly all GE foods and a labeling threshold of 0.9-1% GMO content.
- Hungary – Requires mandatory labeling of nearly all GE foods and a labeling threshold of 0.9-1% GMO content.
- France – Requires mandatory labeling of nearly all GE foods and a labeling threshold of 0.9-1% GMO content.
- Spain – Requires mandatory labeling of nearly all GE foods and a labeling threshold of 0.9-1% GMO content.
- U.K. – Requires mandatory labeling of nearly all GE foods and a labeling threshold of 0.9-1% GMO content.
- Sweden – Requires mandatory labeling of nearly all GE foods and a labeling threshold of 0.9-1% GMO content.
- Italy – Requires mandatory labeling of nearly all GE foods and a labeling threshold of 0.9-1% GMO content.
- Greenland (Denmark) – Requires mandatory labeling of nearly all GE foods and a labeling threshold of 0.9-1% GMO content.
- China – Mandatory labeling of many GE foods and a labeling threshold of 1% or higher, or undefined GMO content.
- India – Mandatory labeling of some GE foods, but with many exceptions and no labeling threshold defined – or a vague law.
- Bhutan – No GE food labeling laws according to the map, however, Bhutan recently made headlines for being the first country to go 100% organic.
- Brazil – Mandatory labeling of many GE foods and a labeling threshold of 1% or higher, or undefined GMO content.
- United States – No GE food labeling laws.
- Canada – No GE food labeling laws.
- Mexico – No GE food labeling laws.

THANK YOU MIKE!!!!!!
Monsanto is the most evil corporation on earth.
And how do we know the 'labeled' GE's even in the EU are truly
100 percent GMO-Free?
Who is regulating it?
Are there tests shown to show EU and other country GMO-free
are such?
Let's keep investigating and research –
and demand some validity.
Heresay is not enough.
You still want co-existence and Monsanto in our front yards and
organic farmer's field?
Go ahead and 'label.'
You want them out of your life and existence forever and permanently?
DEMAND THE BAN.
You still want co-existence and Monsanto in our front yards and
organic farmer's field?
GREENWASHING THE ORGANIC MOVEMENT: SPEAK UP
Non-GMO Verified must be verified themselves!!
Once wrote to them asking them if they allow, through
verification process any GMOs, pesticides, etc within the animal feed process – for products like raw goat cheese, yogurt, range-free chicken eggs, etc.
They wrote back, mistaking me for a a business customer,
telling me that they could allow a percentage amount in and to email again, to discuss how they could accomodate that.
How do you even trust supposed labeling when projects like
'Non-GMO projects' — in alliance with Whole Foods – who in turn has in alliance with Tom Vilsack of the FDA – who himself is in alliance with Monsanto – who funded and gave donations to Monsanto — ?
some background history and info:
the Non-GMO Project is funded by Whole Foods.
Whole Foods has been funded by Tom Vilsack.
Tom Vilsack is funded by Monsanto.
"In its email of Jan. 21, 2011 WFM calls for 'public oversight by the USDA rather than reliance on the biotechnology industry,' even though WFM knows full well that federal regulations on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) do not require pre-market safety testing, nor labeling; and that even federal judges have repeatedly ruled that so-called government 'oversight' of Frankencrops such as Monsanto's sugar beets and alfalfa is basically a farce. At the end of its email, WFM admits that its surrender to Monsanto is permanent: 'The policy set for GE alfalfa will most likely guide policies for other GE crops as well. True coexistence is a must.'
"According to informed sources, the CEOs of WFM and Stonyfield are personal friends of former Iowa governor, now USDA Secretary, Tom Vilsack, and in fact made financial contributions to Vilsack's previous electoral campaigns. Vilsack was hailed as 'Governor of the Year' in 2001 by the Biotechnology Industry Organization, and traveled in a Monsanto corporate jet on the campaign trail. Perhaps even more fundamental to Organic Inc.'s abject surrender is the fact that the organic elite has become more and more isolated from the concerns and passions of organic consumers and locavores. The Organic Inc. CEOs are tired of activist pressure, boycotts, and petitions. Several of them have told me this to my face. They apparently believe that the battle against GMOs has been lost, and that it's time to reach for the consolation prize. The consolation prize they seek is a so-called 'coexistence' between the biotech Behemoth and the organic community that will lull the public to sleep and greenwash the unpleasant fact that Monsanto's unlabeled and unregulated genetically engineered crops are now spreading their toxic genes on 1/3 of U.S. (and 1/10 of global) crop land.
"WFM and most of the largest organic companies have deliberately separated themselves from anti-GMO efforts and cut off all funding to campaigns working to label or ban GMOs. The so-called Non-GMO Project, funded by Whole Foods and giant wholesaler United Natural Foods (UNFI) is basically a greenwashing effort (although the 100% organic companies involved in this project seem to be operating in good faith) to show that certified organic foods are basically free from GMOs (we already know this since GMOs are banned in organic production), while failing to focus on so-called 'natural' foods, which constitute most of WFM and UNFI's sales and are routinely contaminated with GMOs.
This is horrifying. Whole Foods is now the enemy, too. Well, I'm finished with them. What you reported here should be on every social media site in the world.
Guys,
I love your website,
But being from Australia i can guarantee you that we have NO GE labeling laws and extremely limited amount of labeling on our food products.
I don't know where you got your info.
Either way, Keep up your good work.
The only products in Australia that are labelled are those which choose to self-label. All packaged foods now sport the 'made from local and / or imported ingredients' umbrella label.
We as a country are getting exactly what we deserve because we are not demanding better. Look at the HMO labeling referendum in California. It was defeated by the same brain dead voters who keep Feinstein in office.
We have zero GM food labeling here in the UK.
Please , do not include, Portugal on the list of food labelling GMO. GMO products is all over the place and nobody know nothing about . I believe for example 99% of all corn seeded are GMO and the people ignore that. Monsanto have free land here in Portugal to sale and promote all products , all most people use Round-Up whit out know all the consequences .
Thank you
For those that are skeptical of the above research, I urge you to find out what your law actually says and then come back verify the data for us.
Australia and New Zealand have a joint body called "Food Standards Australia New Zealand" (FSANZ) so what happens here in NZ is what happens in Australia too.
The reason you see few, if any, GMO labled foods is because the bosses of the supermarkets eg Foodstuffs and Enterprise Foods are consumer savvy. They won't put GMO labeled products on the shelf because they know you won't buy them.
So the easiest way to check this out is to simply call the supermarket bosses and ask why no GMO foods on their shelves are labeled.
North America sucks. They don’t care about public’s health and many people are leaving their countries. Look up CHEMTRAILS, yet another AmeriKKKan invention to kill all life on Earth. KKK = Kill Kill KIll.
The USA has been taken over by communists who are destroying our country by design. Slow-kill vaccines, chemtrails, poison foods, radiation from cell phone towers, Fukushima fish, highest corporate taxation on earth…
Communist China will become #1 economy this year says drudge today.
Ob*ma rejoices and the media plays interference for he and his treasonous ways by harping on some basketball team owner saying nγgger.
The country is in peril — along with the entire free world.
Make them aware.
Ob*ma needs to be impeached.
The CEO and all scientists in Monsanto must be arrested and tried. Monsanto must be shut down.
All GE fields must be destroyed — including those owned by megacorps like Archer Daniels Midland.
Clarence Thomas must recuse himself from all Monsanto cases.
But your leaders make sure the Mooselums are happy by Halal labelling.
The problem is that BOTH parties are owned by the same communists who are destroying the country. Is Ob*ma that different from the Bushes? Bush gave us DHS, TARP I and 2, and bankrupting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ob*ma gave us Ob*maCare totalitarianism, completely opaque government, radical racism, corruption never seen here before, NDAA, and evisceration of the First and Second Amendments as well as the rest of the Constitution. We are in deep caca.
@Justin our parties are owned by multinational corporations that care only about profits and zero about the welfare of the people. These people are hardly Communist I think you have your isms mixed up.
