FDA outlaws labeling foods non-GMO

.....

This is bs!!!!

Yes it is!

'Extra labeling only confuses the consumer,' biotech spokesman says

That the Food and Drug Administration is opposed to labeling foods that are genetically modified is no surprise anymore, but a report in the Washington Post indicates the FDA won't even allow food producers to label their foods as being free of genetic modification.

In reporting that the FDA will likely not require the labeling of genetically modified salmon if it approves the food product for consumption, the Post's Lyndsey Layton notes that the federal agency "won't let conventional food makers trumpet the fact that their products don't contain genetically modified ingredients."

The agency warned the dairy industry in 1994 that it could not use "Hormone Free" labeling on milk from cows that are not given engineered hormones, because all milk contains some hormones.

It has sent a flurry of enforcement letters to food makers, including B&G Foods, which was told it could not use the phrase "GMO-free" on its Polaner All Fruit strawberry spread label because GMO refers to genetically modified organisms and strawberries are produce, not organisms.

WTF???!!!

Soon we will be eating solient green. If we arent already.

Our Non GMO food people need to get clever with their advertising...muahahahhaha

Yeah I guess the only way is to go to stores and place labels on them ourselves.

This is Bull Shit!

Monsanto strikes again!

they are squeezing the lil guys out lil by lil...now you can't advertise your product as non-gmo...I say they get clever with packaging or words...

Monsanto is truly EVIL. No if ands or buts about it. EVIL!

Hey, gubment: go fuck yourself! This is BULLSHIT. I want to know what I'm buying at the store, or else I'm going to give the middle finger to the establishment

we knew this was coming. They label it we wont buy it, so what choice did they have. I dont think they label have the crap we eat according to whats in them.

WTF is wrong with this country. These are criminals.

Nazi fuckers. Hopefully they get swept up in it if this country ever comes to it senses. They are genocidal maniacs at the FDA. They deserve Life in Prison at very least. ALL OF THEM.
