Proposition 37—Labeling of Genetically Engineered Foods

Print this Article | Send to Colleague

Proposition 37 will be on today's General Election ballot. This measure is opposed by CLFP. It would ban the sale of tens of thousands of perfectly-safe, common grocery products only in California unless they are specially repackaged, relabeled or remade with higher cost ingredients. Prop 37 is not a simple labeling measure. It will increase grocery bills for California families by up to $400 a year; add more government bureaucracy and taxpayer costs; will create a new way for trial lawyers to file shakedown lawsuits; and includes loopholes and exemptions which make no sense and without providing any health or safety benefits. Prop 37 is opposed by a broad coalition of family farmers, scientists, doctors, business, labor, taxpayers and consumers. CLFP urges its member companies to get out to vote against Proposition 37!
