What it is
Certified Organic means the food was grown and processed according to strict standards set by the USDA National Organic Program. Non-GMO means it was not produced using genetically modified organisms. These labels indicate specific farming and production practices.
Why it's used
These terms are not ingredients themselves but rather labels indicating how a food product was produced. They are often used by manufacturers to appeal to consumers seeking foods grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetic engineering. You'll find these labels on a wide variety of products, including dressings, marinades, and dips.
Health notes
The terms 'organic' and 'non-GMO' relate to agricultural and production methods, not specific health benefits or risks. Regulatory bodies like the FDA do not evaluate these terms as ingredients. The scientific consensus on whether organic or non-GMO foods offer significant health advantages over conventional foods is still developing, with ongoing research and differing consumer perspectives.
