Label Right—Get Compliant with the USDA National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard Rule

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) just released the final rule on bioengineered food disclosure on Friday (Dec. 21)—and it will impact nearly all food companies in the USA! If you are a food manufacturer or importer, or run an entity that labels foods for retail sale, the USDA National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard rule will now require you to disclose information about bioengineered (BE) food and ingredients. You need to be absolutely conversant with the final rule to avoid heavy fines, legal proceedings, and other serious repercussions.

Learn how to be fully compliant with the USDA Final Rule on Bioengineered Food Disclosure in this informative webinar by regulatory expert Norma Skolnik. She will walk you through the list of bioengineered foods; exemptions from the Bioengineered Disclosure Rule; incidental additives; disclosure requirements in product labeling; disclosure options available to food manufacturers and distributors; symbols to be used and graphic requirements; timelines for compliance, and a lot more!

After attending this webinar, you will know what food products are impacted by this rule, and what all is exempt. You will also be able to correctly label bioengineered/GMO (Genetically Modified) foods and non-GMO foods to avoid regulatory and competitive challenges. You will know the timelines for compliance, and will be better placed in redesigning your packaging to comply with the final rule in time.
