This subchapter must be applied consistently with United States obligations under international agreements. It preserves specified authority under food and alcohol laws and says that a food is not automatically “not bioengineered” or “non-GMO” merely because it does not need a bioengineering disclosure.

(a) Trade. This subchapter must be applied consistently with the United States’ obligations under international agreements. (b) Other authorities. Nothing in this subchapter (1) changes the authority of the Secretary of Health and Human Services or creates rights or duties for anyone under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; or (2) changes the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury or creates rights or duties for anyone under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act. (c) Other. A food may not be treated as “not bioengineered,” “non-GMO,” or as making another similar claim that it lacks bioengineering solely because the food is not required under this subchapter to carry a disclosure that it is bioengineered.
