Last week, Federal MP Pierre-Luc Dusseault introduced a new bill to amend the Food and Drug Act for mandatory labelling of genetically modified foods in Canada.
The Canadian Organic Trade Association (COTA) has already expressed concerns that the wording of this bill does not reflect the need for mandatory labelling of genetically engineered ingredients.
Tia Loftsgard, COTA executive director, attended a pre-meeting with MP Dusseault to discuss the concern.
COTA will continue to work with MP Dusseault to ensure proper wording is used in the bill. For more information, contact tloftsgard@ota.com
