🚨 BOMBSHELL RULING: Court Forces USDA to End GMO Labeling Loopholes

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has ruled that the USDA must update its bioengineered food disclosure standards, closing key exemptions that allowed many genetically modified ingredients to go unlabeled.

In a unanimous decision issued November 7, 2025, a three-judge panel found that the USDA’s 2018 regulations—particularly the exemption for highly refined products where modified DNA is undetectable—violate the 2016 National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard.

Judge Daniel Collins, writing for the court, stated that Congress intended broader disclosure, regardless of detectability.

The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by the Center for Food Safety and Citizens for GMO Labeling, challenging provisions that excluded ultra-processed items like corn oil, high-fructose corn syrup, and soy-based ingredients.

The court also invalidated the USDA’s allowance of QR codes and digital links as the sole disclosure method, mandating clearer, on-package text.

“This decision reaffirms the public’s right to know what’s in their food,” said George Kimbrell, Legal Director at the Center for Food Safety. “The vast majority of genetically engineered crops are designed to withstand heavy pesticide use—consumers deserve transparency at the point of purchase.”

The case now returns to the district court with instructions to remand the rules to the USDA for revision consistent with the statute.

This ruling marks a significant step toward uniform, accessible GMO labeling nationwide.

The production of water bottles uses 17 million barrels of oil and emits 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. It takes 3 times the amount of water to make a single bottle as it does to fill it.

With all the food and pet products now coming from China , it is best to make sure you read label at the grocery store and especially Walmart when buying food products.
Many products no longer show where they were made, only give where the distributor is located.
It is important to read the bar code to track it's origin.
How to read Bar Codes .... interesting!
This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it's a concern to you.
GREAT WAY TO "BUY USA & CANADA " AND NOT FROM CHINA!!

The whole world is concerned about China-made "black hearted goods".
Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China ?

If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA.
471 is Made in Taiwan .
This is our right to know, but the government and related departments never educate the
public, therefore we have to RESCUE ourselves.

Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products "MADE IN CHINA ", so they don't show from which country it is made.

However, you may now refer to the barcode - remember if the first 3 digits are:

690-692 ... then it is MADE IN CHINA
00 - 09 ... USA & CANADA
30 - 37 FRANCE
40 - 44 GERMANY
471 .... Taiwan
49 ... JAPAN
50 ... UK

BUY USA & CANADIAN MADE by watching for "0" at the beginning of the number.
