US: ASTA praises Senate vote in support of food disclosure agreement

The American Seed Trade Association (ASTA) says it applauds the U.S. Senate for the bipartisan cloture vote on common sense legislation that ensures a transparent, uniform national food disclosure standard while protecting farmers and small businesses from the harmful consequences of a patchwork of state labeling laws.

“We commend Chairman Roberts and Ranking Member Stabenow for their leadership in moving this critical agreement forward,” said ASTA President & CEO Andrew LaVigne. “The legislation is a common sense, practical solution to prevent the consequences of a costly and confusing patchwork of state food-labeling laws, like we’ve already seen set into motion in Vermont.”

ASTA is urging the U.S. Senate to pass S.764 as soon as possible, so the U.S. House can take it up next week.
