Abstract In December 2018, the United States Department of Agriculture published the national bioengineered food information disclosure standard (detailed implementation rules), which detailed and improved the specific content of the bioengineered food information disclosure system in the United States, marking the basic establishment of the bioengineered food information disclosure system in the United States. The text mainly includes the following aspects: add the conditions of detectability, unify the exemption conditions of bioengineering food information disclosure, improve the form of bioengineering food information disclosure, set up voluntary labels, and the obligations of the subjects of bioengineering food information disclosure. Through analysis, it is found that under the premise of mandatory labeling, the United States still adheres to the principle of substantive equivalence to ensure the smooth transition of labeling system while protecting consumers’ right to know. In view of the chaos of GM food labeling in China, this paper draws lessons from the experience of the United States and puts forward Suggestions on how to improve GM food labeling system in China in terms of concept, labeling object, management institution and exemption.
