Today, the House of Representatives passed S. 764, the Roberts-Stabenow Agreement, with bipartisan support. Tom Dempsey, President & CEO, SNAC International praised the membership for their hard work in getting this legislation passed.
Tom Dempsey, President & CEO, SNAC International:
"After a long two years of working with legislators on the GMO issue we finally have legislation that gives the industry and consumers clarity."
"Manufacturers avoided a patchwork of potentially contradictory state laws and consumers have product transparency. The work of SNAC International members with their legislators was invaluable in this process."

The bill now moves to the President's desk for signature into law. Once signed, Vermont's labeling standard is immediately preempted and no longer required.
Tom Dempsey:
"SNAC International's membership consists of large and small businesses alike, and none of our members do business in just a single state."
"The snack industry urgently needed this legislation to pass to avoid a patchwork of state labeling regulations from wreaking havoc on the entire food supply chain, and especially our small businesses."
