In a vote of 14 to 6, the Biotechnology Labeling Solutions markup passed today in the Senate Agriculture committee. According to the draft, it would require usda to set a voluntary National Food labeling standard for genetically engineered foods, preempt state labeling laws on both gmo foods and seed, and require usda to provide consumers with information on the benefits of biotechnology. Ag Committee Chair senator pat roberts was pushing for the legislation. Representing parts of the whole food chain supporting the chairmans mark. Roberts says, never before have we seen such a coalition of our constituents all united behind such an effort. Their message is clear. It is time for us to act and its time for us to provide certainty in the marketplace by approving the mark before us today. In july, vermont will implement a mandatory genetically engineered labeling law. Former ag chair senator Patrick Leahy from vermont says the senate bill undermines the public right to know and it tramples on state rights. He says replaces them with a voluntary standard that already exists and would block other states bills like alaskas and virginias, i think its a solution looking for a nonexistent problem. Its a last minute attack on vermonts laws. Vermont is right to set priorities at the State Government level. Leahy adds there is a grace period of a year after the vermont law goes into effect. Iowa senator joni ernst is also at her home of Montgomery County where Household Incomes average in the 40,000 range. She says mandatory labeling could affect all consumers, if we are to go ahead and implement vermonts law, and as that would affect consumers nationwide to the tune of about 1,052 dollars per household, were already stretching our incomes pretty thin. Ernst says she understands the need to know but theres an impact to consumers and it is challenging for low to moderate income families.
