It only takes a minute to take action on

this serious threat for better labeling laws.

The international Codex Alimentarius

Conference is taking place this week and on the agenda is a proposal that could

set back existing efforts to require labeling of foods made from or containing

GMOs. It is critical that US negotiators get a strong message urging them to

oppose this dangerous policy.

 

US

negotiators are taking the scientifically-questionable position that foods

containing GMOs are not different from conventional foods, claiming labels that

say GMO or non-GMO are misleading - while at the same time Congress has failed

to pass legislation requiring better labeling of such foods!

 

This

is a serious threat to those fighting for better labeling laws nationwide, and

we must act now.

Services Secretaries Tom Vilsack and Kathleen Sebelius to withdraw this

position!

 

The evidence and concern about the dangers

associated with GMOs continues to grow, and last year the American Academy

of Environmental Medicine called for a moratorium on all genetically-modified

foods. According to a Nielsen survey the fastest growing claim among store

brands in 2009 was " GMO-Free " , and consumers are more and more

frequently choosing non-GMO brands (53% of Americans say they would avoid GMOs

if they were labeled).

 

We need to mobilize the strong base of support for labeling into a force for

policy change. Our elected officials must acknowledge the public demand for

labeling and oppose any policy inconsistent with that demand.
