USDA Seeks Input on GMO Labeling Standards

USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service has released 30 questions for input from the public regarding GMO labeling (National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard). CCOF plans to respond to the proposed questions and encourages its members to also provide input to USDA. Submit responses to GMOlabeling@asm.usda.gov by July 17, 2017.

 

USDA is seeking input for a proposed rule on GMO labeling to fulfill its congressional mandate to implement a mandatory GMO labeling standard. The proposed rule is expected to be released for public comment in late fall or early winter. For more background, visit USDA’s GMO Disclosure & Labeling web page.

 

CCOF plans to comment and encourages its members to also submit their own comments.  

 

Please contact CCOF’s policy department with any questions.
