The Sustainable Food Policy Alliance Responds to USDA’s National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard

The Sustainable Food Policy Alliance Responds to USDA’s National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard

Washington, DC (Dec. 20, 2018) – The Sustainable Food Policy Alliance (SFPA) today issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) final National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard:

“The Sustainable Food Policy Alliance continues to review the rule. We remain concerned, however, that the standards fall short of consumer expectations, and the practices of leading food companies, particularly when it comes to how we are already disclosing highly refined ingredients and the threshold for disclosure. Our member companies will continue to take strong, proactive steps to meet consumer expectations for transparency – and we encourage others in the industry to do the same.”
