Jan 9, 2024 · Yet, as of January 2022, the USDA requires food manufacturers to label all foods containing GMO ingredients. That said, the labels won’t say “GMO” but instead the term “bioengineered food.”
- Although the New Labeling Requirements Are Different, Your Food Is Still the Same. These labels — both the Non-GMO Project label and the new Bioengineered label — are marketing tools, says Peter Goldsbrough, PhD, a professor of botany and plant pathology at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, who specializes in GMOs and GMO educational practices.
- There Is No Evidence That GMO or Bioengineered Foods Pose Any Health Risks. “I think one of the most important things that people need to know is that there are no health safety concerns about consuming GMO foods,” says Goldsbrough.
- Not Every Food That Contains Ingredients From a Genetically Modified Crop Is Required to Have a Bioengineered Food Disclosure Label. Food items that contain ingredients that are considered “highly refined” — such as sugar and corn oil — don’t require bioengineering disclosure, so they'll have no BE label.
- Some Foods Are Exempt From the New BE Labeling Law. Products made with meat, poultry, or eggs are exempt from the BE labeling law. Multi-ingredient products in which meat, poultry, or eggs are the first ingredient are also exempt, even if other ingredients in the product do have detectable levels of modified genetic material.
