The genetically modified food, coming from the techniques of modern biotechnology, were inserted in the consumer market in Brazil without the existence of scientific certainties, by the time and even nowadays, about the risks to the consumer health. This study aims to demonstrate the importance of GMOs labeling as a way to provide to the consumer its right to information. Initially, there is a brief history of genetically modified food, offering a concept of them as a part of the process of biotechnological development, followed by a review of the legal framework related to biosafety. In a second stage, it addresses the constitutional right of the consumer to information, as well as the labeling connections as a mechanism for enforcement of this right. Then, point to the challenges in the national scene, for the practical application of consumer choice right exercised from the labeling. At the end, it is a critical reflection on the Draft Law n.º 4.148/08 (PLC nº. 34/2015), which aims to remove the label the information about GM food composition, in flagrant violation of the right essential consumer information
