NELA Transition
Endorses Proposition 37
Genetically-engineered (GE) ingredients have been in our food supply since 1996, and are now in about 70% of all processed foods. Currently, unless you buy organic food, you cannot know whether the food contains GE.
Proposition 37 is a simple labeling law that would require any raw or processed food sold in California grocery stores (not restaurants) that contains GE ingredients to be labeled. Most European countries, and Mexico and China already label GE foods; in fact, 61 countries do.
NELA Transition encourages every Californian to vote YES ON 37 on November 6th, because we support everyone's right to know if their food contains genetically-engineered ingredients.
