People should be given the choice whether to buy genetially modified food. The risk evaluation is up to the individual, but companies should let people know that the content may be genetically modified.
Kind of like the fast food menuboard labelling for kcal consumption. People should be given the information whether a menu item has 300kcal versus 875 kcal, and allowed to make the decision for themselves.
