The Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) applauded the US House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee for its hearing Wednesday that discussed the future labeling of foods containing genetically modified organisms (GMO).
The subcommittee met Wednesday to hold a hearing titled “The FDA’s Role in the Regulation of Genetically Modified Food.” During the hearing, US representatives from both parties questioned the need for a label on packaged food products containing GMOs. Representatives said they thought any labeling may mislead customers into thinking a product was unsafe.
