Creating a rift between itself and much of the food industry, the Campbell Soup Company says it fully supports federal legislation that would establish a single mandatory labeling standard for foods containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Though the company still opposes multiple state laws that would create a patchwork of varying standards, Campbell says it believes it’s necessary that the federal government step in to develop a national standard that better informs consumers. Because of this decision, Campbell says it is distancing itself from all efforts led by groups and coalitions that oppose these measures.
