(BOSTON) JULY 1 – IF YOU FIND A CAN OF COKE IN ON SALE IN VERMONT THIS WEEKEND GRAB IT. IT MAY BE THE LAST ONE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE COMPANY CAN RETOOL IT’S LABELING ON ITS CANS TO ADAPT TO THE STATE’S NEW GENETICALLY MODIFIED LABELING LAW TAKING EFFECT TODAY.
FOX NEWS RADIO’S BILL MARCUS HAS MORE.
THE U-S SENATE HAS BEEN CONSIDERING A BILL THAT WOULD OVERRIDE VERMONT’S LAW BUT SO FAR, NO ACTION.
THE NEW VERMONT LAW ALLOWS MERCHANTS TO SELL WHAT’S ALREADY ON THEIR SHELVES AND NOT LABELED FOR ANOTHER YEAR…AND TRAG SAYS YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TROUBLE FINDING BOTTLES OF COKE AND PEPSI IN VERMONT SINCE IT’S EASIER TO CHANGE THE LABELING ON THEM…BUT THOSE CANS..THAT WILL TAKE A LITTLE MORE TIME.

HARDWICK, VT MARKET OWNER PAM TRAG SAYS STORE OWNERS UNDER THE NEW LAW ARE REQUIRED TO PROPERLY LABEL ALL PRODUCTS ON THEIR SHELVES.
