IDFA Files Suit in Ohio over Proposed rBST Rule
Published Thursday, July 03, 2008 at 04:49 AM
IDFA Director of communication Peggy Armstrong calls the rule – unfair. She points out the additional cost of having separate packaging labels for Ohio. She says this comes at a time when both state and national economies are under stress. As a result, IDFA says the rule could cost manufacturers thousands of dollars and it also violated the first amendment right of free speech and oversteps the bounds of the federal government’s control of interstate comers.
The Ohio Department of Agriculture has yet to respond to the lawsuit.
