Dairy industry group continues to attack food companies over alleged 'fear-based' labeling

A dairy industry group with strong ties to Wisconsin has added more examples to its list of what the group says is “fear-based” food labeling. The latest examples range from “non-GMO” labels on products for which no genetically modified version exists to “no added hormone” labels on poultry products when the addition of hormones is already prohibited by federal law.Some food companies have turned to “fear-based” labeling that plays on the fears of things like GMO products, synthetic animal-growth hormones and high fructose corn syrup, the National Milk Producers Federation says about its “Peel Back the Label” campaign.
