U.S. negotiators are at an international (Codex) conference this week pushing a Monsanto-friendly agenda that could make it difficult for any government, anywhere in the world, to require labels on foods containing genetically engineered ingredients – or even a company to make non-GMO claims on their product’s label.

The U.S. is taking the anti-consumer and unscientific position that GMOs are "substantially equivalent" and just as safe as conventional foods, despite mounting scientific evidence that GMO foods are hazardous to human health and the environment. U.S. Trade representatives claim that non-GMO or organic and non-GMO labels are inherently misleading.

If they succeed at the meeting, the U.S. may then file lawsuits through the World Trade Organization against any country that implements mandatory labeling of GMOs, or even allows non-GMO claims on packages.

This is a grave threat to our organic future ‘€“ we must push back now against Monsanto and Obama’€™s pro-GMO trade officials.
