AK-Sen: Mark Begich (D) Needs Our Help Telling The FDA To Label GMO Foods

Received this e-mail today from Senator Mark Begich (D. AK) regarding the FDA and GMO labels:

Most Alaskans already know that the FDA is very close to approving genetically-modified salmon (Frankenfish) for production. And if that happens, it would just be a matter of time before Frankenfish winds up on our dinner plates.

But did you know that the food you eat may already contain genetically-modified ingredients?

There is no federal standard for labeling products that contain GMO ingredients. And big food corporations are putting pressure on Washington, D.C. to keep it that way. After all, their profits are more important to them than what you serve your family.

I’m teaming up with Sen. Tester and Rep. DeFazio to call on the FDA to require explicit labeling of all products that contain genetically-modified organisms. And we need you on our side. Sign our petition to the FDA right now.

The FDA already slaps labels on cosmetic products, pet food, even hair dye -- but doesn’t require a label for GMOs.

Alaskans deserve to know what is in their food and what we’re serving to our kids. And the FDA needs to take a stand.

Join me and Sen. Tester and Rep. DeFazio, sign the petition telling the FDA to require labeling of GMO foods.
