Morales, City Manager FROM: Raul Aguila, City Attorney � - DATE: October 22, 2014 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, RELATING TO URGING THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND THE FEDERAL FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION TO ENACT REGULATIONS REQUIRING THE DISCLOSURE AND MANDATORY LABELING OF ALL GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOOD PRODUCTS; AND IN THE INTERIM, URGE THE COMPANIES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE DISTRIBUTION, MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCTION CROPS OR FOOD PRODUCTS TO VOLUNTARILY LABEL THE CROPS AND FOOD PRODUCTS THAT HAVE BEEN GENETICALLY ENGINEERED. BACKGROUND Pursuant to the request of Commissioner Micky Steinberg, a resolution was prepared urging the state legislature and the federal Food and Drug Administration to enact regulations requiring the disclosure and mandatory labeling of all genetically engineered food products; and in the interim, urge the companies that provide for the distribution, manufacturing and production of genetically engineered crops or food products to voluntarily label the crops and food products that have been genetically engineered. The Mayor and Commission are concerned with the quality of life of the residents of Miami Beach and understand that there may be long-term health risks to the general public and the environment due to genetically engineered foods. The ramifications of genetic engineering of our food are unknown, and as such the public should have the knowledge and ability to decide whether to consume such genetically engineered foods. Genetically engineered crops are engineered by transferring genetic material from one organism into another to create specific traits, such as making a plant resistant to treatment with herbicides, or enabling a plant to produce its own pesticide to repel insects. The genetic altering can lead to unintended consequences to the environment, and to our health. Knowing what is in our food is incredibly important. Conclusion The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the attached Resolution, which urges the state legislature and the federal Food and Drug Administration to enact regulations requiring the disclosure and mandatory labeling of all genetically engineered food products; and in the interim, urge the companies that provide for the distribution, manufacturing and production of genetically engineered crops or food products to voluntarily label the crops and food products that have been genetically engineered.
