Dear Friend,
On July 1, 2016, Vermont’s mandatory GMO labeling law took effect. Major
brands, in anticipation of the deadline, had already begun printing “produced with genetic engineering” or “contains genetically engineered ingredients” on their labels.
And these companies were labeling nationally, not just in Vermont.
Then Monsanto’s willing servants in Congress killed GMO labeling with their "DARK" (Deny Americans the Right to Know) Act.
TAKE ACTION: Tell your Senators and Congress Members to support Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.)’s efforts to repeal the DARK Act!
On July 14, the Senate passed a federal bill, falsely represented as a “federal mandatory GMO labeling law,” that nullified Vermont’s law and robbed consumers of the right to know if their food is genetically engineered.
On July 31, President Obama signed the DARK Act into law.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) wants to repeal the misleading, confusing and loophole-ridden-DARK Act, which is now being called the
National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard
