If Proposition 37 passes, California would become the first state in the nation to require new labels on a host of food products commonly found on grocery store shelves. Here are the specifics of what it would do:
Require that genetically engineered foods sold in the state, including raw fruits and vegetables, be clearly labeled as genetically engineered. Require the state Department of Public Health to regulate the labeling. Allow individuals to sue food manufacturers who violate the measure's labeling provisions.
