Dive Summary:
- Sen. Peter Wirth sponsored a bill just before the new year in the New Mexico State Senate requiring the labeling of all genetically modified ingredients in foods.
- UNlike the California or Washington bill, this is direct legislative action looking to ammend the New Mexico Food Bill.
- This means it will only be voted on in the Senate and House, never leaving the capital, thus it has the possibility to be enacted before Washington.
From the article:
New Mexico has joined Washington and California to become the latest US state asked to consider mandatory labeling for foods containing genetically engineered ingredients.
