经过多年奋战在国会一项法案,要求从转基因标识禁止状态,在2016年EWG有助于杀死被称为拒绝美国人法案知情权法案,或暗法。By hosting Capitol Hill lobbying days, holding congressional briefings with celebrity chefs, meeting with lawmakers and their staffs, and collecting comments and signatures from the public, EWG played a pivotal role in making sure Americans aren’t denied the right to know what’s in their food and how it’s grown. Polls had shown that nine out of 10 Americans wanted clear labeling of GMO products on packaging, as opposed to high-tech gimmicks such as “smart labels.” EWG later helped develop compromise legislation to create a mandatory national labeling standard for GMO foods that was passed in the House and Senate, and signed into law by President Obama on July 29, 2016. Our DARK Act petition got 101,037 signatures, the most of any of our 2016 petitions.
