HR 4167 & benzene in soft drinks europe & usa

[Guest guest]

For those who are interested, House Bill 4167,

supported by the majority of House of Representatives,

Repulicrats and Democricans, if passed will superceed

state regulations on food labeling for health hazards

or 'other' specific state-required labeling.

Opposed by most all the states, it looks like the

House will push this through, with food industry

backing. Although the Senate has no similar bill on

the docket, it would be helpful if you write your

senators to state your position.

Labels like not eating mercury containing seafood

while pregnant, or the inclusion of other health

warnings would disappear unless, and until, a state

sues the Federal government.

Recently benzene has been found in soft drinks....
