Labeled: Genetically Modified Organisms and the Law

Speakers:
Jonathan Adler, Alison Peck, Martin E. Levin

Moderator:
Jaime Bouvier

Summary:

This event featured an extensive discussion on the current state of genetically modified organism (GMO) labeling laws across the United States by a panel of attorneys who publish, practice, teach and/or research in the area of GMOs. The panel addresses the two sides of the debate – supporters of GMO labeling and the rights of the consumer to make informed food choices versus supporters of H.R. 1599, which forbids states from requiring GMO labeling of crops under the First Amendment-rooted prohibition on compelled commercial speech. For attorneys practicing agricultural and food law in the state of Ohio, it will become integral to understand both sides of this debate in order to best advocate for their clients. This panel discussion serves as an opportunity to explore all sides of the GMO labeling issue with legal experts in the field.
