Politico is reporting that the Grocery Manufacturer’s Association, an industry group representing food giants like ConAgr, PepsiCo and Kraft is starting a push for federal legislation regarding labeling of GMOs.

“The most powerful players in the food industry say they are simply

Mentioned in the article is an effort in Colorado to see GMO labeling on the ballot in 2014.
