So far she has learned that she very much enjoys salted caramel anything, a good soup dumpling is worth a scalded tongue, and there is no room in life for non-fat cheese and crappy chocolate. Also, a barrel of cheese balls never ends well. \r\n\r\nStephanie has been known to choose her company based on how much they can pack it down.

The tiny state has boxed big food companies into a corner. Two years ago, the state passed legislation requiring mandatory labeling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Grocery Manufacturers Association has fought back against the law, both in court and in Congress, but so far it's been unsuccessful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, as \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/03/16/470677241/bill-that-would-block-states-from-mandating-gmo-labels-stalls-in-senate\">we reported\u003c/a>, Congress failed to pass an industry-supported measure that would have created a voluntary national standard for labeling — and also would have preempted Vermont's law. Which means for now, food industry giants still face a July 1 deadline to comply with the state's labeling mandate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And since food companies can't create different packaging just for Vermont, it appears that the tiniest of states has created a labeling standard that will go into effect nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This \u003ca href=\"http://www.blog.generalmills.com/2016/03/we-need-a-national-solution-for-gmo-labeling/\">statement\u003c/a>, from General Mills' Jeff Harmening, sums it up:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Vermont state law requires us to start labeling certain grocery store food packages that contain GMO ingredients or face significant fines,\" Harmening wrote on the General Mills blogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We can't label our products for only one state without significantly driving up costs for our consumers and we simply will not do that,\" explains Harmening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, as a result: \"Consumers all over the U.S. will soon begin seeing words legislated by the state of Vermont on the labels of many of their favorite General Mills products,\" he concludes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chocolate giant Mars struck a similar tone in its \u003ca href=\"http://www.mars.com/global/press-center/gmo.aspx\">announcement\u003c/a>: \"To comply with [the Vermont] law, Mars is introducing clear, on-pack labeling on our products that contain GM ingredients nationwide,\" the company statement says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not require such labels because - as this \u003ca href=\"http://www.fda.gov/food/guidanceregulation/guidancedocumentsregulatoryinformation/ucm059098.htm\">guidance document\u003c/a> explains - the agency has determined that the nutritional quality and safety of GMO ingredients, such as corn starch or soybean oil, are no different from the same ingredients derived from conventional crops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Mars, \"we firmly believe GM ingredients are safe.\" But consumer expectations are changing. \"We aim to deliver products that match the different tastes, preferences and perceptions of consumers,\" the Mars statement says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a 2015 \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/poll-finds-americans-support-gmo-food-labeling/\">poll\u003c/a>, two-thirds of Americans support labeling of foods that contain genetically modified ingredients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Consumers are pushing for more transparency,\" food industry analyst Jack Russo \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/03/16/470715871/senate-blocks-bill-to-create-voluntary-national-standards-for-labeling-gmos\">told us\u003c/a>. Earlier this year, the Campbell Soup Co. acknowledged this when it became the first major food company to \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/01/08/462422610/campbell-soup-switches-sides-in-the-gmo-labeling-fight\">switch its position\u003c/a> and come out in support of mandatory GMO labels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The food industry overall is still hoping that the federal government will step in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We continue to strongly urge Congress to pass a uniform, federal solution for the labeling of GMOs to avoid a confusing patchwork of state-by-state rules,\" wrote Paul Norman, president of Kellogg North America in an emailed statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's clear that companies can no longer wait for this federal action. \"The horse [is] out the barn,\" says attorney David Wallace, of the firm Herbert Smith Freehills, who specializes in food issues. Companies are already preparing new labels to begin hitting store shelves in a few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Companies had no choice. ... They've been making plans for this. They had to,\" explains Wallace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, both sides in the debate over GMO labeling now will learn the answer to a question that many have posed over the past 20 years: How will consumers react to a label that says \"produced with genetic engineering?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Food companies have argued that such a label will scare consumers away, because they'll see it – incorrectly – as a warning. If it has that effect, companies will react by removing genetically modified ingredients from their products. In fact, food companies see the labeling campaign as a veiled attempt to drive genetically engineered crops out of agriculture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Privately, however, many companies are hoping that consumers will disregard those labels and continue to buy the same products as always.

The tiny state has boxed big food companies into a corner. Two years ago, the state passed legislation requiring mandatory labeling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Grocery Manufacturers Association has fought back against the law, both in court and in Congress, but so far it's been unsuccessful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, as \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/03/16/470677241/bill-that-would-block-states-from-mandating-gmo-labels-stalls-in-senate\">we reported\u003c/a>, Congress failed to pass an industry-supported measure that would have created a voluntary national standard for labeling — and also would have preempted Vermont's law. Which means for now, food industry giants still face a July 1 deadline to comply with the state's labeling mandate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And since food companies can't create different packaging just for Vermont, it appears that the tiniest of states has created a labeling standard that will go into effect nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This \u003ca href=\"http://www.blog.generalmills.com/2016/03/we-need-a-national-solution-for-gmo-labeling/\">statement\u003c/a>, from General Mills' Jeff Harmening, sums it up:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Vermont state law requires us to start labeling certain grocery store food packages that contain GMO ingredients or face significant fines,\" Harmening wrote on the General Mills blogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We can't label our products for only one state without significantly driving up costs for our consumers and we simply will not do that,\" explains Harmening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, as a result: \"Consumers all over the U.S. will soon begin seeing words legislated by the state of Vermont on the labels of many of their favorite General Mills products,\" he concludes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chocolate giant Mars struck a similar tone in its \u003ca href=\"http://www.mars.com/global/press-center/gmo.aspx\">announcement\u003c/a>: \"To comply with [the Vermont] law, Mars is introducing clear, on-pack labeling on our products that contain GM ingredients nationwide,\" the company statement says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not require such labels because - as this \u003ca href=\"http://www.fda.gov/food/guidanceregulation/guidancedocumentsregulatoryinformation/ucm059098.htm\">guidance document\u003c/a> explains - the agency has determined that the nutritional quality and safety of GMO ingredients, such as corn starch or soybean oil, are no different from the same ingredients derived from conventional crops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Mars, \"we firmly believe GM ingredients are safe.\" But consumer expectations are changing. \"We aim to deliver products that match the different tastes, preferences and perceptions of consumers,\" the Mars statement says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a 2015 \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/poll-finds-americans-support-gmo-food-labeling/\">poll\u003c/a>, two-thirds of Americans support labeling of foods that contain genetically modified ingredients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Consumers are pushing for more transparency,\" food industry analyst Jack Russo \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/03/16/470715871/senate-blocks-bill-to-create-voluntary-national-standards-for-labeling-gmos\">told us\u003c/a>. Earlier this year, the Campbell Soup Co. acknowledged this when it became the first major food company to \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/01/08/462422610/campbell-soup-switches-sides-in-the-gmo-labeling-fight\">switch its position\u003c/a> and come out in support of mandatory GMO labels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The food industry overall is still hoping that the federal government will step in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We continue to strongly urge Congress to pass a uniform, federal solution for the labeling of GMOs to avoid a confusing patchwork of state-by-state rules,\" wrote Paul Norman, president of Kellogg North America in an emailed statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's clear that companies can no longer wait for this federal action. \"The horse [is] out the barn,\" says attorney David Wallace, of the firm Herbert Smith Freehills, who specializes in food issues. Companies are already preparing new labels to begin hitting store shelves in a few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Companies had no choice. ... They've been making plans for this. They had to,\" explains Wallace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, both sides in the debate over GMO labeling now will learn the answer to a question that many have posed over the past 20 years: How will consumers react to a label that says \"produced with genetic engineering?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Food companies have argued that such a label will scare consumers away, because they'll see it – incorrectly – as a warning. If it has that effect, companies will react by removing genetically modified ingredients from their products. In fact, food companies see the labeling campaign as a veiled attempt to drive genetically engineered crops out of agriculture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Privately, however, many companies are hoping that consumers will disregard those labels and continue to buy the same products as always. Consumers who are motivated to avoid GMOs may be doing that already, by buying organic or non-GMO products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that's the case, those GMO labels will turn out to be just extra words on the package.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nCopyright 2016\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\"> NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/108086/how-little-vermont-got-big-food-companies-to-label-gmos","authors":["byline_bayareabites_108086"],"categories":["bayareabites_4084","bayareabites_1245","bayareabites_12555","bayareabites_2035","bayareabites_60"],"tags":["bayareabites_10802","bayareabites_11274","bayareabites_10787","bayareabites_11281","bayareabites_10774","bayareabites_12187","bayareabites_560"],"featImg":"bayareabites_108087","label":"source_bayareabites_108086"},"bayareabites_81567":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_81567","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"81567","score":null,"sort":[1399509510000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"vermonts-gmo-bill-expected-to-face-major-legal-challenges","title":"Vermont's GMO Bill Expected To Face Major Legal Challenges","publishDate":1399509510,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_81572\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1120px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/vermont-grocery.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/vermont-grocery.jpg\" alt=\"Customers shop for produce at the Hunger Mountain Co-op in Montpelier, Vt., in 2013.

Matthews is an attorney who often represents private sector clients in environmental and regulatory matters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He thinks the court would require proof that people were harmed by eating food containing GMOs. Matthews used to work for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.epa.gov/\">Environmental Protection Agency\u003c/a> and ran the unit that registers and regulates genetically engineered crops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've got three federal agencies that engage in rigorous review of these products and determine that there is no risk, that they don't cause any adverse effects in the environmental context when they're being grown,\" he says. \"Nor do they pose any risk to humans when they're consumed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Debate over the potential risks of genetically engineered food is heated.

Without a change to federal regulations, Vermont's statute is likely to face major challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the state lawmakers who wrote the law say they're ready for that.

That means most packaged food sold in this country contains products that were grown with genetic engineering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we reported \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2014/04/24/bracing-for-a-battle-vermont-passes-gmo-labeling-bill/\">last month\u003c/a>, Connecticut and Maine have already passed labeling acts, but their laws only go into effect once a certain number of other states pass similar legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vermont is prepared to go first and go it alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's attorney general, Bill Sorrell, says he doesn't yet know what the label will look like, but he is sure of one thing: \"I'll be very surprised if we are not sued,\" he says, by companies like \u003ca href=\"http://www.monsanto.com/pages/default.aspx\">Monsanto\u003c/a>, the world's largest producer of genetically engineered seeds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monsanto hasn't commented on Vermont's law yet, but Sorrell says he wouldn't be surprised if there are constitutional claims, claims that the law would compel speech or claims the law poses a burden on interstate commerce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Vermonters say they're worried about potential health risks and just want to know what's in their food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no requirement that you have to show that these foods are actually harmful to health in order to require a company to disclose that genetic engineering was used,\" says Laura Murphy, who works in the Environmental and Natural Resources Law Clinic at Vermont Law School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But according to Keith Matthews, that isn't a valid argument. Matthews is an attorney who often represents private sector clients in environmental and regulatory matters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He thinks the court would require proof that people were harmed by eating food containing GMOs. Matthews used to work for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.epa.gov/\">Environmental Protection Agency\u003c/a> and ran the unit that registers and regulates genetically engineered crops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've got three federal agencies that engage in rigorous review of these products and determine that there is no risk, that they don't cause any adverse effects in the environmental context when they're being grown,\" he says. \"Nor do they pose any risk to humans when they're consumed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Debate over the potential risks of genetically engineered food is heated. Most scientists say there's no evidence of harm in eating foods made with genetic engineering. But anti-GMO advocates say the long-term effects aren't yet known.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some countries have taken a more cautious approach, and Vermont seeks to emulate the European Union, where \u003ca href=\"http://ec.europa.eu/food/food/biotechnology/gmfood/labelling_en.htm\">labeling rules\u003c/a> have been in place for more than a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. law, however, is different. Without a change to federal regulations, Vermont's statute is likely to face major challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the state lawmakers who wrote the law say they're ready for that. The legislation includes a $1.5 million legal fund to help cover costs if the state loses in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2014 \u003ca href=\"http://www.vpr.net\">Vermont Public Radio\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/81567/vermonts-gmo-bill-expected-to-face-major-legal-challenges","authors":["byline_bayareabites_81567"],"categories":["bayareabites_4084","bayareabites_10916","bayareabites_2035","bayareabites_34"],"tags":["bayareabites_10787","bayareabites_10774","bayareabites_13347","bayareabites_10773","bayareabites_10921","bayareabites_560","bayareabites_13346"],"featImg":"bayareabites_81572","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_80875":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_80875","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"80875","score":null,"sort":[1398384621000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"bracing-for-a-battle-vermont-passes-gmo-labeling-bill","title":"Bracing For A Battle, Vermont Passes GMO Labeling Bill","publishDate":1398384621,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_80876\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1674px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/04/ap427747623170_wide-18b756814eec10ac1b55c03748ab2b2c98f3659c.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/04/ap427747623170_wide-18b756814eec10ac1b55c03748ab2b2c98f3659c.jpg\" alt=\"A customer shops for produce at the Hunger Mountain Co-op in April 2013 in Montpelier, Vt.
