Food and Drug Administration ,

What's the big secret?
Why don't the food manufacturers want us to know which (genetically modified) ingredients were used? Because they fear we will exercise our free will to not buy their products! (It can't be cost of labeling or tracking, cause they simply raise the price a few cents and pass cost on to the consumer.)
You are shielding them from the increased costs of doing buisness by buffering the effects of fair competition.

Americans deserve the same protections as the rest of the
world. 
Forget the recall, if you deem it too expensive, and let the labeling alow the public to make it's own choices with their health.....
