Summary

Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act - Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to deem a food misbranded if it contains or was produced with a genetically engineered material unless its labeling contains statements meeting specified requirements. Excludes food: (1) served in restaurants; (2) medical food; or (3) grown on a tree that was planted before the date of enactment of this Act, in a case in which the producer of the food does not know if the food contains a genetically engineered material, or was produced with a genetically engineered material. Authorizes grants to appropriate individuals, organizations, and institutions to conduct research into the public health and environmental risks associated with genetically engineered materials, food that contains a genetically engineered material, and food that is produced with a genetically engineered material. Authorizes appropriations.
