GMA calls on Senate to pass uniform GMO labeling law during science forum
Grocery Manufacturing Association (GMA) president Pamela Bailey urged Congress to pass a uniform national labeling law on the disclosure of genetically modified organisms (GMO) in food or else risk increased costs and consumer confusion along with a shift away from agricultural biotechnology.
Failure to act will have long-lasting adverse effects throughout the food supply chain and will turn back the clock on American agriculture, Bailey said in the kickoff address of the 2016 GMA Science Forum.
