Detailed explanation-1: -Currently, 64 countries around the world require labeling of genetically modified foods. Unlike most other developed countries – such as 28 nations in the European Union, Japan, Australia, Brazil, Russia and even China – the U.S. has no laws requiring labeling of genetically modified foods.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Standard requires that by 2022, food makers, importers, and certain retailers label foods that are bioengineered or have bioengineered ingredients.
Detailed explanation-3: -The requirement stipulates that all foods produced from Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) should be labelled, irrespective of whether DNA or protein of GM origin is detectable in the final product. Moreover, conventional foods with adventitious presence of GM materials of higher than 0.9% should also be labelled.
