Vermont’s GMO labeling requirement became law on July 1, 2016. Many major food companies have already prepared labels to meet Vermont’s requirements without any issue. The US Senate is attempting to circumvent State requirements with their own bill that differs somewhat from Vermont’s law. Here’s a link to this information – http://fortune.com/2016/07/07/bernie-sanders-congress-gmo/
SunRidge Farms stands with Vermont in sticking with a strong GMO labeling requirement that meets the 9 of 10 Americans desire to know what is in their food. The law works as demonstrated by Campbells and Hershey’s (amongst others) label changes that comply with the Vermont requirement. Contact your representatives and let them know you don’t want the Vermont requirement to be circumvented or undermined.
