Labeling Legislation Introduced to Congress!

 

H.R.4814

Genetically Engineered Food Right to Know Act

(Introduced in House)

 

Dennis Kucinich, a Representative from Ohio, introduced

legislation last month that would require labeling of food

products which contain genetically engineered ingredients.

 

In over 30 countries, consumers have the right to know if

their foods contain genetically engineered ingredients . . .

but the U.S. isn't one of those countries!

 

It will be an uphill fight to get this labeling legislation

passed. The biotech industry, including Monsanto, is

lobbying hard against your right-to-know.

Representative from our web site. Just click or cut and

Or you can send your Representative a personal note. These

letters are particularly effective because you took the time

to write.

speak to your congressman and senators.

Thank you very much for your timely action on this important

issue.
