Failed to understand "a 50-state patchwork of GMO labeling policies"?
Does it sarcastically refer to "(the fifty-state policies on GMO labeling are just a patchwork/hotchpotch/mess)"?
Context:
But the industry is opposed.
"It sets the nation on a costly and misguided path toward a 50-state patchwork of GMO labeling policies that will do nothing to advance the safety of consumers," the grocers' association said in a statement.

Right, it is referring to a situation in which each state makes its own decision on labelling policy, resulting in a hotchpotch of different laws rather than consistency across the whole nation.
