Californians Ask for Right to Know
In June, the California Secretary of State’s office announced that the Right to Know initiative to label genetically engineered foods will be on the state’s November ballot. The historic initiative would be the ﬁrst law in the US requiring labeling of a wide range of genetically engineered foods. “We’re thrilled that Californians will have the opportunity this November to vote for the right to know what’s in our food,” says Stacy Malkan, a spokesperson for the California Right to Know campaign. “This initiative is pretty simple. It’s about our fundamental right to make informed choices about the food we eat and feed our families.” The initiative requires labeling of genetically modiﬁed organisms (GMOs) — which are plants or meats that have had their DNA artiﬁcially altered by genes from other plants, animals, viruses or bacteria, in order to produce foreign compounds in that food. Polls show nearly unanimous support across the political spectrum for labeling of genetically engineered foods. Nine out of 10 voters in the US and in California back labeling, according to recent polls, the campaign says. An April poll by San Francisco TV station KCBS found 91% backed labeling. The California Right to Know initiative is backed by an array of consumer, health and environmental groups, businesses and

farmers. Major endorsers include Public Citizen, Sierra Club, American Public Health Association, United Farm Workers, California Certiﬁed Organic Farmers, Organic Consumers Association, Consumer Federation of America, Nature’s Path, Lundberg Family Farms, Organic Valley, Dr. Bronner’s, Eden Foods, Mercola.com, Center for Food Safety, Food Democracy Now! and the California State Grange. Grant Lundberg, CEO of Lundberg Family Farms in the Sacramento Valley, noted that the US stands out as one of the few developed nations that do not provide consumers with simple labels to inform them if their food has been genetically engineered. “More than 40 other countries — including all of Europe, Japan and even China — already label genetically engineered food. Californians deserve to be able to make informed choices too,” Lundberg says. In March, more than a million people submitted comments to the US Food and Drug Administration on a petition for mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods. “All eyes are on California, and the voters of this state will support our right to know what’s in our food when they vote this November,” Malkan says.
