The House on Thursday approved H.R. 1599, the Safe and
Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015, on a 275 to 150 vote. Passage of this
legislation is a priority issue for Farm Bureau.
“Congress stood with farmers and ranchers today in supporting innovation that
helps the environment and keeps food prices down for everyone,” AFBF President
Bob Stallman said in a statement.
The legislation protects consumers from confusing and misleading GMO labels and
will create a national, voluntary labeling standard based on science and common
sense.
