NTF has 2 GMO labeling stipulations
The National Turkey Federation (NTF) is actively supporting two critical components of any GMO labeling bill coming from Congress, so says board director John Zimmerman of Minnesota.
“One, that the bill maintains federal preemption for meat and poultry labeling. And two, that it insures animals that are fed genetically engineered feed should not have to be labeled GE.”
During a House Agriculture subcommittee hearing Tuesday, he told lawmakers a patchwork of state rules would create labeling nightmares for food producers.
The Senate Ag Committee continues to deliberate on a uniform food labeling solution as Vermont’s GMO law is scheduled to go into effect July 1st.
