Prop. 37: The California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act
"Requires labeling of food sold to consumers made from plants or animals with genetic material changed in specified ways. Prohibits marketing such food, or other processed food, as "natural." Provides exemptions. Fiscal Impact: Increased annual state costs from a few hundred thousand dollars to over $1 million to regulate the labeling of genetically engineered foods. Additional, but likely not significant, governmental costs to address violations under the measure."
The Basics
Proponents of the proposition say consumers have a right to know if the foods they buy have genetically engineered ingredients; and foods containing genetically engineered ingredients should not be allowed to carry a deceptive label of "natural."

Opponents of Prop. 37 say it would add "government bureaucracy and taxpayer costs" and would cause lawsuits. The No on Prop 37 campaign website is here.

Together, we’ll continue to build the independent, courageous journalism our movement relies on. Thank you for being part of this community. |
