Just Label It Applauds Campbell Soup for Support of GMO Labeling

WASHINGTON– The following is a statement from Gary Hirshberg, chairman of Stonyfield Farm and chairman of Just Label It:

 Just Label It applauds Campbell’s for their decision to support mandatory GMO labeling.

Campbell’s has been a leader in giving the consumer more information about their food and their support for national, mandatory GMO labeling is consistent with that tradition.

Consumers simply want a factual disclosure on the package, not a warning, and we are hopeful that Congress can craft a national GMO labeling solution in the coming months. Thanks to Campbell’s leadership, we are closer to reaching that goal.

Just Label It has long been an advocate for a national GMO disclosure that works for both consumers and industry. We welcome the opportunity to work with Campbell’s and other food leaders to quickly develop a solution that gives consumers the same information as consumers in 64 other nations.
