About  [Edit]

Concerned with the growing acreage of unlabeled and inadequately tested genetically engineered crops, The Campaign to Label Genetically Engineered Foods was launched in March 1999.



In July 1999, The Campaign`s Executive Director, Craig Winters, flew to Washington, DC to meet with Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich. It was at this one-on-one meeting that Congressman Kucinich agreed to become the primary sponsor of legislation to label genetically engineered foods.



The Genetically Engineered Food Right to Know Act, HR 3377, was introduced into the House of Representatives in November 1999.



Companion legislation was introduced into the Senate, S 2080, by California Senator Barbara Boxer in February 2000.



You can help pass this important legislation by sending letters to your elected officials. Letters can be found at this web site along with many other activist and educational tools.



Mission Statement

"To create a national grassroots consumer campaign for the purpose of lobbying Congress and the President to pass legislation that will require the labeling of genetically engineered foods in the United States."
