Florida tackles issue of labeling genetically modified food

The debate over genetically modified foods may be coming to Florida's Capitol, if a bill filed for the 2014 session can get heard in a committee. HB 1 by Rep. Michelle Rehwinkel Vasilinda is similar to a bill she filed in the 2013 session that requires labeling of genetically modified food. But her 2013 bill and the Senate companion never were taken up by committees.
