Summary

This amendment would change the law to include a label on genetically modified food and feed products that are composed of more than 1 percent genetically engineered (GE) material. Since most processed foods and feed products contain some derivative of GE corn, soybean or cotton, they would need to be labeled under this amendment.

Outcome: SB 18 died in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
