Support GE Fish Labeling

In a recent online press conference, a chief executive for AquaBounty said that its genetically engineered salmon would be on sale to the US public in April, adding that seven out of ten consumers might buy GE salmon, presumably once they learned more about it. This underscores the necessity of passing into law legislation that mandates the labeling of these fish telling us that they are GE.

Write to your members of Congress and tell them to support GE fish labeling bills!

Please support the labeling of GE salmon

Dear [Decision Maker],

There are a number of bills in Congress that would require clear labeling of genetically engineered salmon, among other things:
*HR 270 requires any genetically modified salmon to include the words "genetically engineered" or "GE" prior to the market name.
*HR 271 requires any food that contains genetically engineered fish to bear a label stating that the food contains genetically engineered fish.
*HR 273 prohibits a person from shipping, transporting, offering for sale, selling, or purchasing a genetically altered finfish (e.g., salmon), or a food product containing those fish, in commerce, among other provisions.

We need these fish to be labeled. To comply with the GMO labeling law, all retailers have to do is have a scannable QR code on the package of the GE fish that says it has been genetically modified. As most consumers don't use these codes, many may have no clue that they're buying GE salmon, thus undermining a consumer's right to know.

It also puts wild-caught salmon, which is healthier, at a competitive disadvantage, since GE salmon grows bigger and will likely be cheaper.

Please support these important bills to label genetically engineered fish!
