Today, Campbell’s Soup Company announced its support for federal legislation requiring labels for foods produced with genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The company has already prepared labeling that will comply with Vermont’s pending GMO labeling law.
Campbells’ support is rooted in their belief that a national labeling standard for GMOs “would better inform consumers and would preempt numerous state labeling efforts, which are incomplete, impractical and confusing.” Campbell’s does not support any individual state GMO legislation.
