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.

Click

here to urge Agriculture and Health and Human

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.
