Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Pat Roberts wants any GMO labeling proposal from the Committee’s ranking Democrat Debbie Stabenow vetted by agriculture groups. A Kansas Republican, Roberts says any GMO labeling bill needs the approval from agriculture and food groups to be successful in the U.S. Senate, according to Politico. Roberts says “we can’t get anywhere” unless the majority of the 800 agriculture and food groups approve of a GMO labeling proposal, adding “should that be the case, I’m ready to go.” Roberts says he is still unclear what Stabenow is willing to agree with to set a national standard on GMOs. Staff members for both lawmakers are reportedly hammering out the details for a bill with the hope of getting a proposal on the Senate floor before Vermont’s labeling law takes effect in July.
