Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), chairwoman of the home committee that regulates the U.S. Department of Agriculture finances and food and Drug Administration, presented a bill Wednesday that will mandate labeling of genetically altered fish. Based on her workplace, DeLauro's Consumers To Know Food Labeling Act might additionally require USDA to mandate that items of cloned animals be tagged, if meant for human use. "A current Food & Water Watch study revealed that 78 percent of Americans don't need genetically-engineered fish to become authorized and provided in shops and restaurants," said DeLauro in a record. "It is apparent that the American public really wants to be able to make informed choices when buying their food and that they would like to be able to distinguish cloned or genetically altered services and products from organic products." "Because being an animal substance issue but the FDA is managing these genetically modified salmon never as a food issue, present rules might keep the customers struggling to determine between these conventional salmon," she added and new modified salmon. "If FDA approves the genetically altered fish the American public deserves to understand the facts about their food, and this regulation can make sure that they're supplied with this crucial information."
