Beginning in August 2014, Ecuador requires mandatory labeling of food and beverage products containing more than 0.9 percent transgenic content. This year’s report provides an overview of the implementation of the new labeling requirement. The National Biosecurity Commission (Comisión Nacional de Bioseguridad – CONABIO) was established in 2015. The commission held its first formal meeting on May 6, 2015. CONABIO is expected to exercise jurisdiction over all biotechnology issues.
