The Organic Consumers Association (OCA) is asking consumers to boycott brands that refuse to expressly label products made with genetically modified ingredients.
Nearly 500,000 people have signed a petition onย buycott.comย pledging to reject brands that use QR codes to tell consumers if genetically modified organisms, known as GMOs, are present in a product.
