Bill > A07260

This bill requires that genetically modified (GM) salmon be clearly labeled when sold or offered for sale in New York State. The legislation mandates that packaged GM salmon must have a plain and conspicuous label identifying it as "genetically modified salmon," and for unpackaged salmon sold in markets or delis, a clearly visible sign must be placed near the fish indicating its GM status. The bill defines genetically modified salmon as fish that have been altered using genetic engineering techniques. This labeling requirement aims to provide transparency to consumers about the nature of the salmon they are purchasing, allowing them to make informed decisions about the food they buy and consume. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, ensuring that consumers can quickly identify GM salmon in retail settings.
