The Perils of GMO Labeling

This webinar, co-sponsored with the Marketing Science Institute, will examine the complex topic of the GMO Labeling. It will be hosted by John Lynch, Executive Director of the Marketing Science Institute and Christine Moorman, Editor in Chief of the Journal of Marketing.

Genetically modified (GM) foods are widespread worldwide, but they are also controversial and subject to regulatory oversight. For example, in the United States, all GM foods will be required to display a “Bioengineered” label by 2022, a policy decision that is heavily debated. Most scientists claim that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in foods are safe for human consumption and offer societal benefits such as better nutritional content. In contrast, many consumers have an overall negative attitude toward GMOs. These conflicting views create a fundamental tension for policymakers in how GM-foods should be labeled.

The webinar will feature findings from research by Kim, Kim, and Arora published in the Journal of Marketing that examines the impact of different GMO labeling policy regimes on products consumers choose. They find that both “No GMO” labels and “Contains GMO” disclosures (like the new “Bioengineered” label) shift demand away from products containing GMOs and persuade consumers with no negative attitudes about GMOs that those products are to be avoided. The findings raise fundamental issues about the appropriateness of government labeling policies that persuade as much as they inform—favoring one set of marketers over another when their products are equally safe and healthy according to scientific consensus. Policy makers and food manufacturers have been invited to the session to debate this important topic.

Featured speakers:

  • Neeraj Arora, University of Wisconsin-Madison
  • Sydney Scott, Washington University in St. Louis
