Why is this important?
In the modern era of commercial food supply, it is clear American Agribusiness wants to keep consumers in the dark. In fact, corn, soy, canola, cotton, alfalfa, papaya, sugar beets, zucchini, and yellow summer squash are commonly cultivated in chemical resistant, genetically engineered forms with no labeling requirements.
Consumers have the right to know whether the foods they purchase contain genetically engineered material. Manipulating genes and inserting them into the commercial food supply is an imprecise process that produces results that are not always predictable or controllable, and could lead to adverse health or environmental consequences.
Without mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods, consumers may unknowingly violate their own dietary and religious principles.
More than 60 countries around the world, including the European Union, Russia, China, Japan, and South Africa have laws mandating the disclosure of genetically engineered foods on food labels.
Consumers should have the choice to avoid purchasing foods that could cause adverse health and environmental consequences.
We stand with the thousands of families, farmers, and advocates in helping Florida lead the way on labeling genetically engineered foods. We have a right to know what’s in the food we’re eating and feeding our families.
