GMO Labeling
CMDCAS - Certification and the Canadian MDR

The GMO issue is becoming the most expensive, contentious and important debate in the history of the natural products industry.

More and more food companies are exploring ways to communicate that their products are made with ingredients that have not been genetically modified (GM) or sourced from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to respond to the growing consumer demand for information about GM status on a "right-to-know" basis.

This webinar will address a number of the important questions that will be top of mind for the natural products industry as consumer demand for labeling and supply chain challenges continue to grow.

Topics include:

  • Next steps for state and federal labeling laws
  • An update on the status of the non-GMO supply chain and certification programs
  • Where organic fits in the non-GMO discussion
  • What are the marketplace challenges of going non-GMO?
