“Frankenfood” fight playing out on state, city levels
Albuquerque latest city to consider bill to require labeling of genetically engineered foods
Concern over the potential health and environmental risks of genetically engineered foods (GMOs) has led to more than 20 states and a number of cities making legislative efforts to require greater transparency so that consumers can make informed food choices.
Albuquerque, New Mexico becomes the latest entity to join the fray, with the City Council considering a measure that would support the labeling of GMO’s on a statewide and national level. Santa Fe has already passed a similar bill.
