GMO is out, 'bioengineered' is in, as new U.S. food labeling rules take effect

https://www.npr.org/2022/01/05/1070212871/usda-bioengineered-food-label-gmo

 

The Standard requires food manufacturers, importers, and certain retailers to ensure bioengineered foods are appropriately disclosed. Regulated entities have several disclosure options: text, symbol, electronic or digital link, and/or text message. Additional options such as a phone number or web address are available to small food manufacturers or for small and very small packages.

First, the food product can include the words "this is a bioengineered food" or "contains bioengineered ingredients" on the food product packaging near the ingredient list.

Second, the food product can include the "bioengineered" symbol that USDA created in that same location.

The third option is to put the disclosure online.
