On December 10 there will be a hearing in the Energy and Commerce Committee to review the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act. We will hear testimony from expert scientists and those with a wide variety of experiences. We will also hear from those who produce the safest food in the world here in America. This legislation will make the following reforms: - Ensure that new innovations in food are -- and always remain -- safe by creating a mandatory process for all genetically engineered crops that requires an FDA safety review prior to their introduction into the food supply; - Empower the FDA to specify special labeling if these foods are found to be unsafe in any way, and; - Preserve the FDA’s 100-year management of food labeling and prevent a disruptive regulatory patchwork that will significantly increase the cost of food for families.
