In an unfortunate turn of events, it seems an integral section of Connecticut bill HB 5117, scheduled today to be brought before legislators for debate and an historic vote, was pulled from the bill at large last night. The act removed was Section 2, a piece of legislature that would have mandated labeling of food products containing genetically modified products in the State of Connecticut.

While we may not have control over what happens with the State Legislature, we always have the ability to vote with our forks. At the Local Beet, we make every effort to provide products that do not contain GMOs and will continue to do so. You can also make informed decisions about products containing GMOs by visiting these two websites: www.nongmoshoppingguide.com and www.nongmoproject.org.
