Adding a Bioengineered Statement to Existing Products

[lvanhouten]

Hi - we have a couple of products that we are adding the statement "Contains a Bioengineered Food Ingredient" to the packaging.  Would this be considered a certification and would this require a new GTIN following the GTIN Management Standards?  This is a grey area to me.

Thanks!

Hi @lvanhouten 

I recommend working through this tool GS1 US has GTIN Management.

https://www.gs1.org/1/gtinrules/en/decision-support

GS1 US manages and creates the standards, they have a wealth of information.

@jcharles  yes, very useful tool. This was the first place I looked.

I have since been notified our customer is going to change their GTIN's for this change.
