The Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) will appeal the April federal court ruling that denied the association’s motion to stop a Vermont law requiring the mandatory labeling of genetically modified food from going into effect.
On April 27, US District Court Judge Christina Reiss of Vermont rejected the GMA’s and other industry groups request for a preliminary injunction to halt the law. The court’s ruling against GMA’s motion for a preliminary injunction means that Vermont can continue implementing the labeling law, which is set to go into effect in July 2016.
