Whole Foods to label genetically modified groceries starting in 2018

A major grocery store chain is aiming to provide its customers with more information on what goes into their food.

Starting in 2018, Whole Foods will require its groceries to be labeled if they contain genetically modified food.

Richmond Food Security Society’s executive director says people should know what they’re eating and the labels are a good idea.

He says doubts linger about genetically modified food because there haven’t been enough long-term studies on the health impacts.
