The Minnesota Agri-Growth Council doesn't think you can handle the truth about your food.
In Legislative Session Preview: 2014, published in its latest newsletter, Agri-Growth lobbyist Cory Bennett writes about "GMO Labeling":
A measure to require the labeling of foods containing genetically modified organisms (GMO) sold in Minnesota was introduced in the House and Senate last year but there were no hearings. An amendment was drafted to the House Omnibus Environment and Agriculture Finance Bill to study the health and environmental effects of GMO’s but it ultimately was never offered. Agri-Growth is an ardent supporter of agriculture biotechnology and supports the position of the FDA that labeling would be misleading and is precluded sincethere is no nutritional or safety difference with non-GMO food ingredients.
On the other side of the issue, the Right to Know Campaign, an effort started by concerned citizens to make the labeling of genetically modified (GMO) foods the law in Minnesota, supports H.F. 850 and S.F. 821.
