CALIFORNIA: Foods Altered Genetically  Face Labeling
By Mitchel Benson
SACRAMENTO -- Two Senate Democrats here don't want to wait for the  
federal
government to decide whether consumers should be warned when they  buy
genetically modified foods. They want California to act now.  In the days
following last week's U.S. Food and Drug Administration  hearing in 
Oakland
on the question, Sen. Tom Hayden of Los Angeles already  has drafted, and
Sen. Byron Sher of Stanford says he's seriously  considering, legislation
to require labeling of such foods.  Sen. Hayden's proposal, to be
introduced in January, goes further,  requiring the labeling of 
genetically
engineered seeds, in addition to  modified raw and processed foods.
