This week, US District Court Judge Christina Reiss of Vermont rejected the Grocery Manufacturers Association’s and other industry groups request for a preliminary injunction to stop a state law requiring the mandatory labeling of genetically modified food from going into effect as schedule in July of 2016.
Reiss partially granted and partially denied the state’s motion to dismiss the complaint filed by GMA which sought to halt the labeling law known as Act 120. Reiss denied preliminary injunction because she said the plaintiffs failed to show the law would cause them irreparable harm.
