We just filed an emergency legal action to get #dicamba off the fields despite EPA's pushback to our court victory! "EPA needs a lesson in separation of powers and we're asking the court to give it to them."—CFS's George Kimbrell centerforfoodsafety.org/press-releases…

Victory in North Carolina! We challenged NC's #aggag law for the sake of the health and safety of all community members, and are glad to see this law struck down! State legislators elsewhere shld take note: these types of laws are simply unconstitutional. centerforfoodsafety.org/press-releases…

BIG NEWS! We just sued the #USDA over its final rule on labeling of #geneticallyengineered (GE) or #GMO foods, which USDA now calls "#bioengineered foods." centerforfoodsafety.org/press-releases…

Center for Food Safety (@cfstruefood) 's Twitter Profile Photo

The final regs include provisions which will leave the majority of #GMO-derived foods unlabeled; discriminate against tens of millions of Americans; prohibit the use of the widely known terms "GMO" and "GE"; and prohibit retailers from providing more information to consumers.

"This case is about ensuring meaningful food labeling ... The American public successfully won GE food labeling after more than a two-decade fight, but the Trump rules fall far short of what consumers reasonably expect and the law requires."—CFS Legal Director George Kimbrell

BREAKING: Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held illegal the federal regulations that would have permitted, for the very first time, large-scale industrial #aquaculture operations offshore in U.S. federal waters. #CFSlegalvictory centerforfoodsafety.org/press-releases…

Wait, it gets BETTER: Repeatedly utilizing fishing puns to good use, the court decision held that the [Dept. of] Commerce arguments for establishing aquaculture do "not hold water," ran headlong into a "textual dead zone," and became "hopelessly snarled." 😂💦🎣

Big #GMO news day! Our allies in Europe have announced the development of a new test for #GEcanola, demonstrating that crops developed with newer forms of #geneticengineering can in fact be detected in the food supply, and require labeling under U.S. law. centerforfoodsafety.org/press-releases…
