On July 29, US President Barack Obama signed legislation that establishes a national disclosure requirement for identifying bioengineered foods and food ingredients, known colloquially as “GMO” (genetically modified organism) or “GE” (genetically engineered) foods. The disclosure requirement will apply to foods subject to labeling requirements under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
