Not front page news - GE foods.
http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A56999-2000May2.html
The Clinton administration today intends to release a plan that would
increase federal oversight of genetically modified foods and make details
of that oversight more open to the public in an effort to increase
consumer
confidence in the controversial foods, officials said yesterday.
Among the more significant changes to be proposed, biotech companies
would
have to notify the Food and Drug Administration four months before
marketing a new genetically modified food, providing the agency and the
public with the research results that affirm the new food's safety. Until
now, that process has been voluntary.
Moreover, the FDA intends to create a regulatory mechanism by which foods
for the first time could be labeled as being free of gene-altered
ingredients--a label that some in the industry have opposed because it
might stigmatize or imply superiority over genetically engineered foods.
Biotech crops have been sold in the United States since 1996 and already
are planted on millions of acres. They account for about one-half of the
nation's soybeans and cotton, one-third of all corn, and smaller
proportions of canola, potatoes and squash.
There is this one too...
