    The Senate has voted 63-30 in favor of a bill that would enforce a GMO labeling standard for the whole country. If it passes, food manufacturers would be required to disclose genetically modified ingredients in their products through a label on an item's packaging. It doesn't mean bad news for those manufacturers, though -- in fact, the bill's requirements work in their favor. A more stringent GMO labeling law went into effect in Vermont on July 1st, and food companies were unhappy because it could lead to different laws per state that would be a nightmare to implement.
