The FDA was established over one hundred years ago in order to insure that our nation maintained a safe food supply and consumers were educated on the food they were purchasing. Recently, several states have passed individual legislation regulating food labels and the standards by which they are established. The Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act (H.R. 1599) would broaden the FDA's regulatory power to include the regulation of food labels specifically as they pertain to GMOs. I support this legislation and I encourage you to support it as well.
If individual states are allowed to continue to establish their own regulations it will result a mass confusion among consumers. It is important for consumers to be able to rely on their food labels
