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.[1] 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.[2]
