Label GMO Food in New York!
New Yorkers have a right to know what is in our food. Please protect that right by co-sponsoring and championing Assembly Member Linda Rosenthal's GMO labeling bill, A. 617.
Why is this important?
Like the majority of Americans, New Yorkers want to know what is in the food we're eating and feeding our families. But right now, genetically engineered (GMO) food isn't labeled, so it's hard to make informed decisions about the food we eat.
Whether we want to avoid GMOs for environmental, ethical, religious or other reasons, without labels there is no clear way to know whether a food contains GMO ingredients. We label calories, fat and sodium, so why not GMOs?
Please urge your legislator to support our right to know by co-sponsoring the Assembly bill to require the labeling of GMO foods.
