LD1257

Maine LD1257 mandates labeling for food products derived from genetically engineered aquaculture, livestock, or poultry.

Maine LD1257 introduces a requirement for clear labeling on food products derived from genetically engineered aquaculture, livestock, or poultry. This labeling must state that the product is genetically engineered and be prominently displayed for consumer visibility. Non-compliance will result in a stop order by the department until proper labeling is achieved. The bill also outlines enforcement mechanisms and the adoption of rules to implement these labeling requirements.
