CAPICNG

CAPICNG, or the California Public Interest Campaign for Non-GMO Foods, is a non-profit organization based in California, United States. Established in 2006, the organization advocates for the labeling of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food products. CAPICNG's primary goal is to ensure that consumers have the right to know whether the food they purchase contains GMOs. The organization believes that informed consumer choice is essential for maintaining a healthy and sustainable food system.

CAPICNG campaigns for the implementation of mandatory GMO labeling laws at the state and federal levels. The organization works to educate the public about the potential health and environmental impacts of GMOs, as well as the benefits of non-GMO foods. CAPICNG also engages in legal challenges and advocacy efforts to push for stronger GMO labeling regulations.

The organization's work has led to significant progress in California, where voters approved Proposition 37 in 2016. This proposition requires food manufacturers to label products that contain GMOs, providing consumers with the information they need to make informed choices. CAPICNG continues to advocate for similar labeling laws across the United States and internationally.

CAPICNG operates through a combination of grassroots activism, public education, and legal advocacy. The organization collaborates with various stakeholders, including scientists, policymakers, and consumer advocacy groups, to promote transparency and accountability in the food industry. By advocating for GMO labeling, CAPICNG aims to empower consumers and contribute to a more transparent and sustainable food system.
