Title: ●National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard--Court Remand 
Abstract:

Based on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (Natural Grocers et al. v. Rollins) October 31, 2025, decision, the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) proposes to address deficiencies from its December 21, 2018, final rule (83 FR 65814).  On July 29, 2016, Public Law 114-216 amended the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1621 et seq.) to require USDA to establish a national, mandatory standard for disclosing any food that is or may be bioengineered (BE).
