据外媒报道,美国转基因标识方案已经提交至国会委员会进行讨论。
12月10日美国举行“检查FDA在转基因食品配料监管方面的职责”为题的听证会,这反映出转基因标识反对派的立场。
据报道,目前反对派已经起草法案,共和党占多数的国会正在推进这项反对转基因标识的法案,如果最终升级为法律,那么各州在要求转基因标识方面的努力将会付之东流。
部分原文报道如下:
GMO labeling -- or rather the move against it -- will have another day on Capitol Hill. A federal bill that would ban states from requiring labels that flag foods containing genetically modified organisms appears slated to be considered by a congressional panel next week.
A Dec. 10 hearing titled “Examining FDA's Role in the Regulation of Genetically Modified Food Ingredients” has recently been added to the online calendar for the House Energy & Commerce Committee, a move that reflects GMO labeling opponents' efforts to bring the issue before federal lawmakers.
