NOBULL:: GMO labeling
FOOD, AG INDUSTRIES GAVE TO POMPEO: Rep. Michael Pompeo, the Kansas Republican who has agreed to introduce a federal bill that would preempt states trying to pass mandatory GMO labeling laws, has been well supported by the agriculture industry. Agribusiness sectors have given almost $170,000 to Pompeo since he first ran for office to represent Kansas’s rural 4th district in 2010, according to data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics. Of that amount, the food and beverage industry, which is part of that sector, has given Pompeo $82,000.
In case you missed Pro Ag’s Monday morning story, Pompeo is set to introduce a food and ag industry backed bill that would preempt states requiring the labeling of foods that contain GMOs. Pros can read the full story here: http://politico.pro/Pd8dj8
