Abstract

In the United States, genetically modified (GM) foods are labeled no differently from their natural counterparts, leaving consumers with no mechanism for deciphering genetically modified food content. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not formally defined the term "natural," which is frequently used on food labels despite consumer confusion as to what it means. The FDA should initiate a notice and comment rulemaking addressing the narrow issue of whether use of the word "natural" should be permitted oil GM food labels. Prohibition of the use of"natural" on genetically modified foods would mitigate consumer deception regarding genetically modified food content without significantly disadvantaging genetically modified food producers.

一个自然的妥协:对转基因生物和“天然”标签争议的温和解决方案。
在美国,转基因(GM)食品的标签与天然食品没有什么不同,这让消费者没有机制来解读转基因食品的成分。美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)尚未正式定义“天然”一词,尽管消费者对其含义感到困惑,但它经常出现在食品标签上。FDA应该发起一项通知和评论规则制定,以解决是否允许在转基因食品标签上使用“天然”一词的狭隘问题。禁止在转基因食品上使用“天然”字样将减轻消费者对转基因食品成分的欺骗,而不会对转基因食品生产商造成重大不利影响。

期刊介绍: The Food and Drug Law Journal is a peer-reviewed quarterly devoted to the analysis of legislation, regulations, court decisions, and public policies affecting industries regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and related agencies and authorities, including the development, manufacture, marketing, and use of drugs, medical devices, biologics, food, dietary supplements, cosmetics, veterinary, tobacco, and cannabis-derived products. Building on more than 70 years of scholarly discourse, since 2015, the Journal is published in partnership with the Georgetown University Law Center and the O’Neill Institute for National & Global Health Law. All members can access the Journal online. Each member organization and most individual memberships (except for government, student, and Emeritus members) receive one subscription to the print Journal.
