The Act directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture to create a national bioengineered disclosure standard by July 29, 2018 for the regulation of bioengineered food labels. 

USDA and FDA released a formal agreement, which sets out the responsibilities and roles of the two agencies in overseeing cell-cultured meat production, processing and labeling.
