I heard a new term being used to describe GMO recently, but I can't remember what it is. Can someone tell me the latest or more commonly used term for GMO?

Food manufacturers are now required to adhere to a new federal standard regarding the terminology used to describe genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Under this standard, the use of the term "GMOs" is discouraged and manufacturers must instead opt for "bioengineered" or "derived from bioengineering".

This change in terminology aims to provide consumers with a clearer understanding of the food they are purchasing and its production methods.

By using the term "bioengineered," manufacturers can convey that the food has been altered at a genetic level through engineering processes.

Similarly, "derived from bioengineering" indicates that the food's ingredients or components have undergone genetic modification.
