FDA takes several actions involving genetically engineered plants and animals for food

11/19/2015 09:25 AM EST

Based on sound science and a comprehensive review, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is taking several important steps today regarding food from genetically engineered (GE) plants and animals, including the first approval for a genetically engineered animal intended for food, AquAdvantage Salmon. The agency is also issuing two guidances for manufacturers who wish to voluntarily label their products as containing ingredients from GE or non-GE sources: a draft guidance on labeling foods derived from Atlantic salmon, and a final guidance on foods derived from GE plants.
