Why Non-GMO?

Thursday, October 27, 2022 | By: Avery Hill, Outreach Coordinator

Share

It's Non-GMO Month, and some of our favorite items in store are Non-GMO Project Verified, including some of the most common GMO foods (canola oil, corn, & soy). ⁠

⁠
All Non-GMO Project Verified products must have systems in place to be certified:⁠

⁠
✅ Labeling: Accurate and clear product labeling.⁠⁠

✅ Quality Assurance: Maintaining operational consistency and addressing Non-conformities promptly.⁠⁠

✅ Procurement: Obtaining inputs and ingredients in accordance with uniform and meaningful specifications.⁠⁠

✅ Testing: Meaningful, ongoing testing of Major High-Risk inputs and ingredients.⁠⁠

✅ Segregation and Cleanout: Protecting compliant inputs and ingredients from commingling with non-compliant materials.⁠⁠

✅ Traceability: Supply chain traceability, especially following input and ingredient testing or the establishment of a compliant affidavit.⁠⁠
