S. 2609, which would preempt state laws and create a national standard for foods that contain genetically engineered (GE) ingredients or ingredients with genetically modified organisms (GMOs), has stalled in the U.S. Senate. The bill failed to achieve the requisite number of votes to invoke cloture.
The likely next step is for a compromise solution to likely be proposed that addresses the concerns of GMO opponents. PFMA will continue to work with the Pennsylvania delegation in Congress and its national partners to achieve a solution that resolves a patchwork of state labeling laws that complicate distribution.
