Oregon Mandatory Labeling of GMOs Initiative, Measure 92 (2014)
The
Oregon Mandatory Labeling of GMOs Initiative, Measure 92 was on the
November 4, 2014 statewide ballot in
Oregon as an
initiated state statute, where it was
narrowly defeated. Because the measure was defeated by a mere 809 votes, a
recount will be held, as the margin of defeat is less than the 0.2 percent margin that automatically triggers a recount under Oregon law.

The measure would have mandated the labeling of certain foodstuffs that
were produced with or contained genetically modified organisms. The
measure was sponsored by the group
Oregon GMO Right to Know.
