Étiquetage citoyen de produits OGM vendus. À l’initiative de l’association Combat Monsanto, des actions citoyennes d’étiquetage ont eu lieu le samedi 15 février 2020, à Bordeaux, Bagnolet, Rennes et Valence.
Ces actions visaient à dénoncer les OGM vendus illégalement en France. Le samedi 15 février 2020, à Bordeaux, Bagnolet, Rennes et Valence, des actions d’étiquetage des OGM ont été organisées par l’association Combat Monsanto. Ces actions citoyennes visent à dénoncer la présence d’organismes génétiquement modifiés (OGM), cultivés en France, dans des produits alimentaires. Vaincre l’opacité par l’étiquetage Les militants se gardent bien d’affirmer que tel produit est OGM ou tel autre pas. En effet les associations et syndicats français opposés à l’artificialisation du vivant ont deux revendications distinctes : que les OGM cachés soient réglementés et qu’un moratoire soit décrété sur toutes les VrTH. États-Unis : un étiquetage des OGM très opaque. Sign now to demand that Amazon reject genetically engineered apples. Tell Congress: We Deserve To Know. Label GMO Food!
Congress has a choice to make.
Either do the bidding of Big Ag and keep consumers in the dark about genetically modified food, or do what American consumers demand and require clear labeling of GMOs. Do the right thing. Don't leave us in the dark. Reject the DARK Act and pass the Biotechnology Food Labeling and Uniformity Act and shine a light on GMOs in our food. Why is this important? Any day now, the U.S. Moreover, it would require a taxpayer-funded public relations campaign extolling the benefits of genetically modified foods. But the Senate has another choice, one that would put in place a national standard that requires labeling of foods containing GMOs.
Tell Congress: We Deserve To Know. Label GMO Food! SIGN: Demand the presidential candidates tell us where they stand on GMO labeling. Consumers deserve mandatory, on-package GMO labels, not high-tech gimmicks. The fight for mandatory GMO labeling just took a dangerous turn that could leave millions of Americans in the dark about genetically modified ingredients in their food.
Monsanto and Big Food, along with long-time food industry ally U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, are pushing Congress to adopt a compromise to the GMO labeling battle: Voluntary high-tech QR code labels that require consumers to scan with their smartphones to know whether or not food products contain GMO ingredients. These so-called “smart labels” will make it more difficult – or impossible – for many people to find if GMO ingredients are in their foods. That’s because most Americans won’t take the time to scan a label, don’t know what a QR code is, or don’t have the required technology to access the labels in the first place.
We must pressure Congress and Secretary Vilsack to reject this food industry gimmick and demand simple, mandatory, on-package GMO labels on our food. 5 Things Monsanto Doesn't Want You to Know About the GMO Labeling Debate. Written by Lorraine Chow and reposted with permission from EcoWatch Last month, the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made history when the federal agency approved the first genetically modified (GMO) animal for human consumption: AquaBounty Technologies’ GMO salmon. The controversial move has since opened floodgates about the future of food. Whatever side of the fence you’re on about this fish—which has been genetically altered to grow to market size twice as fast as wild salmon—you’ll have no idea you’re eating it anyway. The FDA has not required the product to carry a label. As the controversy of GMO labeling enters mainstream dialogue, this issue is quickly becoming a heated one. 1. According to a new poll of 800 registered voters commissioned by a coalition of consumer and environmental groups—including Consumers Union, the policy and advocacy arm of Consumer Reports—nearly 90 percent of Americans want mandatory labeling on genetically modified foods. Love This? 2. 3. 4. 5.
Stop Monsanto’s secret plan to Kill GMO Labeling! Your member of Congress, the FDA and President Obama will receive a copy of your letter.
Please join us today! Dear President Obama, Members of Congress and the FDA, As your constituent and a supporter of Food Democracy Now! , I am writing because I support mandatory labeling of genetically engineered food and I urge you to vote NO on H.R. 1599, or any new legislation that would not only undermine states' rights to pass GMO labeling laws, but would also preempt local elected officials in states, counties and cities from passing reasonable regulations regarding genetically engineered crops.
Here’s how to do GMO labeling so everyone wins. The New York Times editorial board came out in favor of labeling genetically modified food Tuesday.
This actually matters: It might give new momentum to the push for mandatory labels, which has stalled. Deep-pocketed companies keep defeating efforts to force labeling through the ballot box, the push for national labeling in Congress is in long-term legislative limbo, and most media organizations seem disillusioned with the anti-GMO arguments. The Times editorial changes the equation: Until now, although labeling has had the passionate backing of a cadre of anti-GMO partisans — along with widespread but insubstantial support from a suspicious and uninformed public (what are GMOs?
Tell Senate Democrats: Stand strong against Monsanto’s DARK Act. The dangerous anti-GMO labeling bill dubbed the “DARK Act” – Denying Americans the Right to Know Act – has hit a roadblock in the U.S.
Senate. But it will only hold if Democratic Senators stand up to Big Food. Right now, as Monsanto and its allies spend millions to lobby Congress to support the DARK Act, not a single Democratic Senator has signed on to co-sponsor the bill. Without Democratic support, the DARK Act will likely fail to pass procedural hurdles to make it to the Senate floor for a vote. Why Does the Dairy Industry Oppose GMO Labels? The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) is one of the corporate front groups suing Vermont in an attempt to block the state’s GMO labeling law.
The trade group is also lobbying for H.R. 4432, an anti-consumer, anti-states’ rights bill, introduced in April (2014) in the House of Representatives by Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.). The bill, dubbed by consumers as the Deny Americans the Right to Know (DARK) Act, would preempt all state GMO labeling laws. HR 4432 would also legalize the use of the word “natural” on products that contain GMOs. Food votes: GMO labels rejected in Colorado and Oregon; Berkeley taxes soda. Despite all the media chatter over which party controls the Senate, as Jonathan Chait has pointed out, the Republican victory will probably just lead to more gridlock.
That is, the do-nothing government will do nothing more intensely. But if you are interested in food and farming, some of the midterm election results do matter. There were several key legislative seats hanging in the balance, and interesting ballot measures on GMOs and soda taxes. Here’s a rundown. GMO labeling and bans.

Tell Monsanto to be honest with shareholders about the risks of GMO. It’s business as usual for Monsanto: insist it’s doing nothing wrong, while opposing any request to be open about the risks of GMOs. But this time, it’s Monsanto’s own shareholders who are asking questions. Their simple request is that Monsanto stops keeping them in the dark on genetically-modified food -- and they need our support. After over 5,000 of us chipped in, SumOfUs organizers are headed to St Louis for the crucial shareholder vote -- working tirelessly to win the support of the big investment funds.

Your member of Congress, the FDA and President Obama will receive a copy of your letter. Please join us today! Dear President Obama, Members of Congress and FDA Commissioner Hamburg, I am writing because I support strong mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods and I have just learned of a new plan by biotech seed and chemical companies and giant food corporations to introduce a piece of legislation that would not only undermine states' rights to pass GMO labeling laws, but would only require "voluntary" labeling on "any products” from GMO plants “if those ingredients present a health or safety risk.” Tree disease is threatening orange juice.
About 80 percent of America’s orange juice comes from Florida orange trees. And now roughly half of them have tree cancer. If this keeps up, the $9 billion citrus industry in Florida might have to start making your morning OJ from fruit that’s been genetically modified to withstand bacteria. Absence d’étiquetage du miel contenant du pollen OGM : la manoeuvre de la Commission européenne. Seeds on seeds on seeds: Why more biodiversity means more food security. It is puzzling that Monsanto’s Vice President Robert Fraley recently became one of the recipients of the World Food Prize for providing GMO seeds to combat the effects of climate change, just weeks after Monsanto itself reported a $264 million loss this quarter because of a decline in interest and plummeting sales in its genetically engineered “climate-ready” seeds. And since Fraley received his award, the production of GMO corn has been formally banned by Mexico, undoubtedly seen as one of Monsanto’s major potential markets.
The World Food Prize, offered each year on World Food Day, is supposed to underscore the humanitarian importance of viable strategies to provide a sustainable and nutritious food supply to the billions of hungry and food-insecure people on this planet. Ironically, what is engaging widespread public involvement in achieving this goal is not Monsanto’s GMOs, but the great diversity of farmer-selected and heirloom seeds in many communities.

The New York Times reported Sunday on the difficulties — and high costs — faced by small and large companies that want to keep GMOs out of their products: Lizanne Falsetto knew two years ago that she had to change how her company, thinkThin, made Crunch snack bars. Her largest buyer, Whole Foods Market, wanted more products without genetically engineered ingredients — and her bars had them.
