ASTA Comments on FDA Requirements for Irradiated Food Labeling

ASTA signed onto an FBIA coalition letter to the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) in July 2023 providing feedback on the FDA's “Food Labeling in Online Grocery Shopping; Request for Information” to provide general comments about the labeling of foods and the scope of FDA’s request. Comments include requests for flexibility and consistency with exemptions in existing nutrition labeling requirements.

ASTA signed onto an FBIA coalition letter to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in March 2021 requesting that the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service maintain the compliance date for the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard of January 1, 2022, and exercise enforcement discretion for products that do not yet bear the disclosure on their label or in labeling materials for an additional year until January 1, 2023.
