USDA issues guidance for non-GMO labeling
The USDA has issued a guide for meat and poultry sellers explaining what they need to do to claim that their products are non-GMO. This, apparently, will do.
What, you may ask, are they to do if their products are GMO? Here’s your answer.
That USDA is allowing the use of non-GMO rather than non-bioengineered must be considered some kind of miracle or oversight.
AgriPulse says producers want more guidance before trying to comply with whatever the biotech labeling law means.
I can’t wait to see if meat sellers use any of this.
