What it is
Non-GMO is not an ingredient itself. It is a claim that a food product does not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs). GMOs are plants, animals, or microorganisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination. The claim typically means that the ingredients used in the food were produced without genetic engineering.
Why it's used
The 'Non-GMO' claim is applied to a wide variety of packaged foods, not specific ingredients. Manufacturers use this claim to appeal to consumers who prefer to avoid foods made with genetically modified ingredients. It is often seen on products like cereals, snacks, dairy items, and produce.
Health notes
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states that GMOs currently available on the market have gone through safety assessments and are not expected to pose risks to human health. Major health and scientific organizations worldwide have found foods derived from genetically modified ingredients to be as safe as foods from conventional varieties. Regulatory bodies like the FDA, EPA, and USDA oversee GMOs in the U.S. The Non-GMO Project is a third-party verification program that is widely recognized in the U.S. for labeling products.
Allergen info
The 'Non-GMO' claim does not directly relate to the major allergens. However, if a food product contains GMO ingredients that are derived from major allergens (like soy or corn), the product would still need to declare those allergens on its label.
