Rhode Island legislators introduce GMO labeling bills to be debated

Posted: January 22, 2014 |   Comments



(http://www.sfgate.com) Today, the Rhode Island House of Representatives will hear two bills that would require foods made with genetically modified ingredients to be properly labeled. The bills are sponsored by Represenattives Dennis Canario and Raymond Hull.

The legislation would be directed toward packaged and processed foods, raw fruits and vegetables, and meat and dairy items. If passed, they would require such genetically modified foods to be labeled "produced with genetic engineering."

Maine and Connecticut have already passed similar measurements, but they won't be implemented until other nearby states also pass GMO labeling laws.
