Judge: Big Food Covered Up Spending $22M to Stop GMO Labeling
occupycorporatism.com
A superior court judge in Washington State ruled against the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) for violating “the spirit and letter” of campaign-finance disclosure law in that state. The GMA was found to have been trying to hide the identities of corporations that funneled millions into a campaign to defeat a 2013 food-labeling initiative 522.
This initiative mandated that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) used in processed foods, in seed products, and the seeds themselves must be labeled.
The case was filed 3 years ago by Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson because the GMA had “raised $14 million from its members in solicitations for a special ‘Defense of Brands’ fund, above and beyond regular member dues.”
The purpose of the sub-organization was to be an avenue for big corporations to ensure regulations set forth by local governments would not impede on their profit margin – as GMO labeling was threatening to do.
To derail the initiative, the GMA was armed with an excess of $22 million (provided by a single donor) to lobby the public against labeling GMOs.
