Genetically Modified Food Crops

PCC's position

PCC supports a moratorium on genetically engineered crops and mandatory labels on GE food ingredients. We advocate the consumer's right to know what's in our food and the right to an informed choice.

PCC's position is quite in line with public opinion. More than 20 public opinion polls show the overwhelming majority of Americans want mandatory labels on GE foods. Considering the FDA says consumers should know if orange juice is fresh or from concentrate, it makes sense to label foods that have transgenic material. If these foods are different enough to be patented, they're different enough to be labeled.
