Countdown to Bioengineered Labeling Deadline

Did you know that the new Bioengineering (BE) rule applies to both FDA and USDA foods?

AND that sugar, food starch and citric acid (and 1000 other ingredients) can trigger new BE labeling?

AND that you are required to keep BE records whether or not you label your product as BE?


Try our new BE Labeling Assessment tool to save time and help you sleep at night! View our Demo here.

BE labeling has complex rules, depending on your ingredient list, crop source, country of origin, federal agency jurisdiction and sales channel. We have developed a software-enabled tool to help you determine whether this new rule applies to your products.

Consumers React to Nutrition Reform

The FDA’s changes to nutrition labeling are the most extensive to happen in decades. These new regulations will not only affect label design, but also brand image. PLC and sgsco recently gathered consumer feedback on these changes during an exploratory session held at R5, sgsco’s premier research facility. See consumer reaction in the video above...

The Essential Guide to USDA Labeling

While many other resources can be difficult to sort through or decipher at times, the Essential Guide does a really great job of summarizing the most important labeling rules and subject matter. Well-organized, user-friendly, and with references back to the CFR, it's become my favorite go-to guide.
