Join the Virtual Rally for the Right to Know!

From Center For Food Safety


tell_us_label_GE_food.jpg

In Spring 2000, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that labeling of GE foods would remain voluntary, even though there was no indication that any company would voluntarily label genetically engineered foods--and in the 11 years since, none have. Meanwhile, companies who have eliminated GE ingredients to add “NON-GE” labels. These responsible companies face burdensome regulations, while the FDA lets other companies continue to use GE ingredients in secret.

The United States may soon be the only country in the world that does not require labeling of genetically engineered food.

Congress must step up and fill the gaping regulatory hole left by the FDA to protect American consumers by requiring mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods.

Here in America, we pride ourselves on having choices and making informed decisions. Under current FDA regulations we don't have that choice when it comes to GE ingredients in the foods we purchase and feed our families.

Take Action Now! Contact your Senators and Representative and encourage them to support legislation requiring mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods
