Despite continuing opposition, Monsanto will not stop opposing GMO labeling efforts

Two decades after Robert T. Fraley pioneered Monsanto’s first genetically engineered crops, the public debate about the technology still rages.

Monsanto has spent millions of dollars in California and now in Washington state to fight mandatory labeling requirements that the industry fears could scare off consumers.

The company faces critics in Congress, too. Senate Appropriations Chairwoman Barbara A. Mikulski, D-Md., is a strong supporter of labeling biotech foods, and last week she stripped a spending bill of a provision meant to ensure farmers could keep biotech crops even when judges rule they’re improperly approved.
