Legislators reintroduced the Safe & Accurate Food Labeling Act last week, following a House committee meeting discussing mandatory biotechnology labeling laws.
Led by US Reps. Mike Pompeo, R-KS, and G.K. Butterfield, D-NC, the Safe & Accurate Food Labeling Act was reintroduced last week, following a hearing at the House Committee on Agriculture. At the hearing, witnesses argued against any mandatory biotechnology labeling laws.
The bill is supported by nine Republicans and eight Democrats, with a majority of the co-sponsors sitting as members of the House Agriculture or Energy and Commerce Committees. The bill was first introduced in April last year.
