U.S. Senate Reaches Agreement on Mandatory GMO Labeling
The agreement, announced on Thursday, was put forward by Senate Agricultural Committee members Sen. Pat Roberts (R- Kansas) and Sen. Debbie Stabenow (R-Michigan). It would preempt state laws to establish a national standard of labeling regulations.
The legislation would allow food companies to select one of three options if their product contains GMOs: text on the package, a symbol, or a QR code that brings consumers to a web page. If the legislation passes, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) would have two years to hammer out the specifics of the labels.
