Dive Summary:
- Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Representative Peter DeFazio (D-OR) introduced legislation on Wednesday that would require the FDA to clearly label any GE food.
- The bill has 10 co-sponsors from both sides of the aisle, from Alaska to Vermont.
- The bill uses many of the same talking points as the several that came before it, however with a stronger backing and more support in Congress, some believe this one may have a chance.
From the article:
“Americans have the right to know what is in the food they eat so they can make the best choices for their families,” Senator Boxer said in the announcement Wednesday. “This legislation is supported by a broad coalition of consumer groups, businesses, farmers, fishermen and parents who all agree that consumers deserve more – not less – information about the food they buy.”
