NEW MEXICO'S GM LABELING BILL TABLED, NEW ONE INTRODUCED IN MISSOURI
Feb. 6, 2013
BrownfieldAgNews reports:
The New Mexico legislature has tabled a bill that would require GMO labels on foods and feed. Last Thursday, the New Mexico Senate voted down a committee report on the proposal. It had passed the public affairs committee earlier last week.
According to FoodNavigator.com, New Mexico Senate sponsor Peter Wirth, a Democrat, said although the GMO labeling bill died last week they are confident similar initiatives in other states will make it.
A bill introduced in the Missouri legislature (SB 155) would require all meat and fish produced in the state that is genetically modified and sold for human consumption to be labeled.
A handful of other states also have GMO labeling proposals pending.
