On May 3, the USDA unveiled its long-awaited proposed GMO disclosure rule, the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard, which provides food companies with guidance about how to label products made with genetically modified ingredients. This important proposed rule implements the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Law of 2016 and will impact most food companies and their products. GMO labeling is a controversial topic and there have been many different approaches to GMO labeling, with individual states attempting to have their own labeling laws.
In this webinar expert speaker Norma Skolnik will discuss some of the highlights of the proposed rule and provide you better understanding on exemptions and requirements. It will also cover what to expect when the July 2018 USDA regulations will be issued. You will also gain regulatory insights and will learn about the FDA contacts and know-how tips.
