  据美国食品安全新闻网消息,近日美国科罗拉多州一名国会议员提出一项转基因标识法令,新法令要求美国50州对转基因食品进行标注。 此外美国马里兰州、爱荷华州、华盛顿州也出台了相关的转基因标识法令。

  部分原文报道如下:

  Today Colorado´s Jared Polis will announce, outside a reborn organic retail store in Boulder, that he is introducing a federal bill in Congress to mandate the labeling of food containing genetically modified organisms in all 50 states.

  And next Tuesday, the Maryland House Health and Government Operations Committee will hold a public hearing on state House Bill (HB) 0903, setting disclosure and labeling requirements for GMO foods. A similar bill was introduced in Iowa, and Washington State´s Initiative 522 is still moving along.

  A battle in Congress over uniform labeling of genetic changes to food would be bigger and more costly than even last November´s initiative campaign in California. Whether Rep. Polis (D-Boulder) can turn his bill into more than just a district press event with a big donor, remains to be seen.
