Many ag groups are praising the USDA’s final rule on the labeling of bioengineered – or genetically modified – food and beverages.
American Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall says the rule is a victory for consumers who want transparency AND for the entire food value chain – from the farmer to food manufacturers.
American Soybean Association President Davie Stephens says the rule follows the intent of Congress by only requiring food that contains GMOs to be labeled bioengineered.
