Vermont Leading Us In Gmo Labeling Campaign

The House voted 114-30 on Wednesday to support the bill, which would require the GMO labels on produce and processed foods and which carries a maximum civil penalty for violators of $1,000 per day per product. [...] the Washington-based Grocery Manufacturers Association sharply criticized the measure, saying that growing GMO food reduces pesticide and water use on the farm and can help feed a growing world population. If Vermont loses a lawsuit and is forced to pay the plaintiffs' legal costs, the expense could rise to $5 million to $8 million, the state attorney general's office has estimated. The state lost a federal court fight over the Legislature's efforts to close Vermont's lone nuclear plant and lost a campaign to require labeling of dairy products from cows treated with biotech growth hormone.
