Letter to USTR and USDA on USMCA and Mexico

NFFC NFFC Weighs In

NFFC and Affiliate Organizations Oppose the DARK Act

NFFC NFFC Weighs In

NFFC and 327 groups from around the nation wrote a letter to both the House and the Senate opposing the Deny Americans the Right-to-Know (DARK) Act. This legislation would deny states the right to require labeling of genetically modified food, would prevent the FDA from mandating GMO labeling in the future and would allow foods containing genetically engineered ingredients to be labeled “natural.” The Senate letter is listed below and you can find the House letter here.
