據(jù)外媒報道，3月29日美國伏蒙特州（Vermont）司法部長表示，轉基因標簽法案將設立6個月的過渡期，從7月1日至和12月31日。法案將主要針對故意違反的情況。

    由于部分產(chǎn)品貨架期較長，因此對于7月1日之前銷售的食品，在12月31日之前不受法案約束。對于7月1日之后銷售的食品，如果標識錯誤，那么將會被罰款。按照新法案要求，對于食品中的轉基因成分，那么需要標注“含轉基因”、“部分含轉基因”、“可能含轉基因”。

    部分原文報道如下：

    In a memorandum on the new GMO labeling law coming into force in Vermont in July, attorney general William H. Sorrell says enforcement action will “focus on willful violations of the labeling law” and that there will be a six-month safe harbor period for foods distributed before July 1 and offered for sale through December 31.

    In the one-page memo, he adds: “Out of recognition that some food products have longer shelf lives, CP 121 creates a sixmonth ”safe harbor“ for foods distributed before July 1, 2016, and offered for retail sale through December 31, 2016. During this six-month period, unless there is evidence that a manufacturer distributed a mislabeled product after July 1, 2016, we will not bring an enforcement action or seek fines for those products.
