Navigating the waters of GMO labeling will be a challenge, but if a bill passed recently by Congress receives the President’s signature, new labels could turn into an opportunity. Steve Armstrong is the Senior Food law Counsel at Campbell Soup Company. He spoke as part of a panel discussion on GMO labeling at the 2016 National Association of Farm Broadcasting Agribusiness Luncheon in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Armstrong explains the GMO labeling law passed by Congress, speaking on behalf of Campbell Soup Company, he says while not perfect, the company supports the GMO labeling bill. Campbell Soup Company in January announced support for a national GMO labeling standard, which the bill is included in. For Campbell Soup Company, he says the company wants to be transparent to consumers. While speaking, he announced the results of a recent consumer survey by Campbell Soup Company that says that a majority of consumers want more GMO information. The survey polled 2,000 consumers to find out what kind of labeling statement provides clarity and gives consumers the right amount of information. His comments came just after Campbell Soup Company also announced the company would transition to using only antibiotic-free chicken in the near future.
