CAMDEN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 5, 2016--
Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) today urged Congress and the
President to enact bipartisan legislation proposed by the U.S. Senate
that directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to craft a
national mandatory disclosure system for foods made with genetically
modified organisms (GMOs) as soon as possible.
Campbell applauds Senators Pat Roberts (R-KS) and Debbie Stabenow (D-MI)
for their proposal to help consumers more easily access information
about GMOs in foods. The bill paves the way for a single national
standard with multiple options for disclosure. Campbell remains
committed to printing clear and simple language on the labels of all of
its U.S. products.
The company is in discussions with the USDA and the Food and Drug
Administration about its plans to develop on-pack language that is easy
for consumers to understand and clearly identifies the presence of
ingredients derived from GMO crops.
