Pingree Statement on Senate Vote Against Dark Act

Statement

After the U.S. Senate voted to block the DARK Act, an anti-GMO labeling bill, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree issued the following statement:

"The DARK Act goes against the 90% of Americans who think that food containing GMOs should be labeled and its defeat in the Senate is a win for consumers. Now we should move forward with a reasonable bill that requires clear, simple on-package labeling that tells consumers if they are buying something that contains GMOs."

Pingree is a cosponsor of a bill in the House that would require mandatory labeling of products containing GMO ingredients.
