More Than 4,000 Chefs Petition US Senate to Reject Anti GMO-Labeling Bill Known as DARK Act
In a national effort to stop the passing of the legislation known as the DARK Act, an anti-GMO-labeling bill, more than 4,000 chefs have signed a petition calling on members of the U.S. Senate to reject the bill. In its latest form, the bill would not require the mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods, despite the fact that an overwhelming majority of Americans — whether Republican, Democratic, or Independent — support GMO labeling. The DARK Act would also block states like Vermont, Connecticut, and Maine from enacting GMO labeling laws that have already been approved by voters.
Corona Beer Recalled for Glass Particles
And Corona is recalling some of its 12-ounce clear bottles because they may contain small pieces of glass, which could be a real buzzkill. The company has listed out the production codes for the impacted bottles, which are sold in 12- and 18-packs, and includes images to help customers locate the codes on the boxes and bottles. The recall was announced after routine inspections of two Anheuser-Busch InBev breweries. There have been no reported injuries related to the bottles affected by the recall.
