Organic vs GMO labels

Why should Organic  foods have to be USGA approved to be” Organic ” and GMO altered crops have no distinction? Shouldn’t the public be informed? Label products or not?

In Europe all GM food is to be labeled unless GM ingredients amount to 0.9 % or less. While the U.S. does not require labels on the opinion that GMO food is not materially different than non-modified food. Opponents of labeling state it would scare consumers away from certain foods, giving the  general appearance that there is something wrong with them. Some U.S. activists insist consumers should have the right to choose whether to purchase  GMO foods and that labeling would offer them that choice, whether the foods are safe or not.
