食品伙伴網訊 據美國食品安全新聞網消息，3月21日美國夏威夷州轉基因標識法案以50:1的方式成功贏得參議院聽證會，然而該法案能否最終獲得通過目前尚不明朗。
報道稱，美國參議院幾乎要取消聽證會，因為按照參議院的要求，只有夏威夷州之外的轉基因食品需要加注GMO標識。

It got a final 50-to-1 favorable vote in the Hawaii House, but House Bill （HB） 174 could not have taken a more tumultuous road to today's public hearing in the Senate. And its future remains very much in doubt.
The Senate almost skipped the hearing entirely, which would have killed the proposed law to require genetically engineered food not raised in Hawaii to be labeled as such.
In between, an outspoken pro-labeling activist used a geographic version of a racial epithet rarely heard in public debate on the islands against the man she believed was blocking the bill from getting a hearing.
Jessica Mitchell recorded a phone message for state Sen. Clarence Nishihara, who chairs the Senate Agriculture Committee, in which the activist said the Senator of Japanese ancestry should "go back to Japan" and "mess things up" there.
