Yes, some of the information is on packaging, but somehow there is no information to tell us if any part of the product or base ingredients are genetically modified.
We the consumers should have the right to know what is in our food.
Why would genetically modified products be treated any different than "trans fat" information?
I wonder how popular would a popular corn flakes become if it was labeled on the box that the corn was GMO?

For a simple 'visual' representation of a nutritional panel, have a look at http://www.foodpanels.com.au . Although in kilojoules (not calories), it is a quick and easy way of 'seeing' what you eat.
