COLORADO HOUSE COMMITTEE REJECTS GMO FOOD LABELING BILL
Feb. 26, 2013
BrownfieldAgNews reports:
A Colorado House committee has rejected a proposal for mandatory labeling of GMO foods.
The committee voted 7-2 against the bill, effectively killing the proposal in the current legislative session. The vote came after what is described as an emotional five-hour debate between farmers and food producers and GMO labeling advocates.
Meanwhile, two members of the U.S. House of Representatives-Peter DeFazio of Oregon and Jared Polis of Colorado-have announced that they will co-sponsor a bill in Congress that would make GMO labels a federal law.
