~ skeptical consumers view it as “non-GMO”

First they'd have to know about that. Calyxt ultimately would sell to the food industry & I guess those industry customers rather care about more formal aspects of labeling ("do I have to put 'GMO' on it or not) rather than for the details.

Well, those industry customers might not put any information on the label at all but just use the better properties for their own advantage (e.g. cold storable potatos).

Or they might just advertise more abstractly (e.g. "no trans fats" for something produced with hydrogenated soybean oil from Calyxt - you'd really have to be an expert to deduce that hydrogenated soybean oil typically contains transfats and that the soybean oil on the ingredient list must be sth. 'special' then). For the most part we consumers are pretty ignorant.

Just compare those two cookies from a renowned German brand (Leibniz). The first is a butter cookie and is even branded as "Leibniz Butterkeks" (everybody in Germany knows them). The second looks the same but does not contain any butter, actually it should be named palm oil cookie but the actual packaging says 'cocoa cookie').
