\nAlmost 1 million signatures from registered voters have been collected in California to place on the\u00a0November 6 ballot an initiative that will require labeling of genetically engineered foods, the Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act<\/a>.\u00a0 To support the California Right to Know campaign, a coalition of farmers, health groups, and organic food manufacturers are attempting to raise one million dollars, known as the Money Bomb.\u00a0 Donations<\/a>can be made online, via regular snail mail, or over the phone.\u00a0 The Money Bomb will be active from May 1 though May 26.\u00a0 A group of Right to Know public interest organizations and organic companies have promised to match the first million dollars raised\u00a0through the Money Bomb.<\/p>\n

I’ve donated to the campaign!.\u00a0 Will you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s important to support the California campaign no matter where you live because California has the eighth largest economy in the world, and any labeling law enacted in the state will have significant influence on all companies producing food that contains genetically engineered ingredients.\u00a0 They will not want to produce\u00a0separate labels and containers.\u00a0\u00a0It is hoped that they will opt to replace GE ingredients as has happened in the over 40 countries around the world that already require labeling.<\/p>\n
