Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–April 17, 2014. Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-KS) recently introduced H.R. 4432, a bill that would give full authority of genetically engineered (GE) labeling to the Food and Drug Administration, which now favors a voluntary approach to the issue. The bill is designed by industry to undercut a growing number of states that are taking on GE labeling by preempting state authority. The bill is being fought by environmental and food safety groups that are backing federal legislation that would label all GE ingredients.
