GMO Labeling Law About To Become Naitonwide Reality – But It’s Only Voluntary

GMO labeling on a national scale might soon become a reality. The state of Idaho is preparing to push the federal government to adopt a nationwide genetically modified food labeling law – but only a voluntary one.

Republican Representative Steve Miller, who is also an organic wheat farmer, is the sponsor of the GMO labeling law.
