Dear Kara,
Oregonians want to know what's in their food. And they should have the right to know. Consumers deserve full and accurate information so they can make the choices that are best for their families.
Labeling genetically engineered (GE) products, which is already done in over 60 countries, is a commonsense way to bring more transparency to our grocery store shelves.
Recently, I joined nine of my Senate colleagues in introducing the Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act. This bill would require the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to clearly label genetically engineered foods so that consumers can make informed choices about what they eat.
The FDA already has the ability to require the labeling of GE products, but has chosen not to. I believe that's the wrong way to go in a world where families want more, not less, information about where their food comes from and what's in it. I will continue to urge the FDA to act – and if they won't, I will be pushing to pass this legislation and make sure that full and accurate labeling of genetically engineered foods becomes a reality. Our consumers deserve no less.
Please know that I will continue to stay on top of this issue, and I hope you will, too.
All my best,
Jeffrey A. Merkley
United States Senator
