FORT MYERS, Fla. – There’s a new label you might notice next time you’re at the grocery store – “contains a bioengineered food ingredient”. It stems from a law Congress passed in 2016 to create a national standard for labeling genetically modified food. It was created right as a state GMO labeling law was about to go into effect in Vermont. The USDA said it was meant to provide transparency and avoid a patchwork of state labeling regulations that could be confusing for consumers and expensive for manufacturers.
