Statement from NMPF President and CEO Jim Mulhern on FDA Announcements Regarding Labeling of Food from Genetically Engineered Sources
"We commend the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for releasing recommendations on the voluntary labeling of food made from genetically engineered foods. Once again, FDA has confirmed the safety of these products."Furthermore, we are heartened by FDA's rejection of a petition seeking mandatory labeling of foods made with genetically modified ingredients. FDA's rejection of the petition is a strong reaffirmation of the sound science policy underlying FDA's approval process. Only products found to be safe for human or animal use should be approved. And if they are approved as safe, there is no basis for mandatory labeling."
