GMO bill reignites labeling fight
By Benjamin Goad
Business-backed legislation establishing voluntary labeling standards for food made with genetically modified ingredients was introduced Wednesday to groans from safety advocates, who call it a thinly veiled effort to block mandatory requirements.
The Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act, offered by Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.), comes amid calls from consumer rights and food safety groups for increased federal regulations governing the ingredients – known as GEs or GMOs – which are present in about 80 percent of food in the United States.

The Pompeo bill “codifies a broken voluntary labeling system,” said Scott Faber, senior vice-president of government affairs at the Environmental Working group.
“Americans overwhelmingly want the right to know whether there are GE ingredients n their food,” he said.
Faber called the bill a “legislative hail Mary,” unlikely to gain traction in the Senate.
