“Contains a Bioengineered Food Ingredient”

In # 6: GMO vs Bioengineered Labeling by Elijah

The product I found is called a David bar. It is a newly released protein bar that is very sought after due to its high protein-to-calorie ratio. The average protein bar has 20g of protein and is 200 calories, While this one has only 150 calories and 28g of protein. To help them achieve lower calories, they used a fat replacement called EPG. This genetically modified/bioengineered fat can’t be digested, giving it no calories.

It is required to state that this food contains a bioengineered food ingredient. It does include this label but it is hidden in black text on the nutrition section so it is hard to pick out. This does its job of telling the consumer that it has bioengineered food ingredients. However, it does not do it well. It is hard to find and most people would not find it unless they were looking.
