A court ruling requires the USDA to rewrite GMO labeling standards for bioengineered foods by 2028, removing exemptions for highly refined ingredients which will increase labeling on ultraprocessed foods in the United States.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Foodtech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Food companies selling ultraprocessed products in the US face rising compliance costs as the USDA must expand GMO disclosure, so you need to review sourcing and label strategy to avoid losing market access.
