Perdue, the third largest chicken producer, joined a group called the Truthful Labeling Coalition, which hired a lobbyist and launched an advertising campaign.On the other side are Pilgrim's Pride and Tyson Foods.

California Senator Barbara Boxer is a political champion of the review of labels. BF Cheese Society versus DFO And flavoured milk also takes a hit
