The GMO debate rages on with corporate stake-holders investing millions of dollars to prevent states from instituting GMO labeling laws. Over 20 states have introduced bills to label products containing GMO ingredients. Behemoth CPG company, General Mills, has moved to remove GMO sugar from Cheerio’s but states it will not from its corn-based cereals. Lobbyists are moving from state to state to fight this battle. Our panel features consumer advocates and scientific and legal experts who will discuss industry promises, government regulation, labeling, potential risks to public health, and look to the future to how this will all play out.
