Non-gmo Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are starchy root vegetables, typically orange-fleshed, though varieties can be purple or white. They are grown worldwide and are a good source of vitamins and minerals. The 'non-GMO' label indicates that the sweet potatoes were not genetically modified.

Manufacturers use sweet potatoes as a natural source of sweetness, color, and nutrients in a variety of foods. They are commonly found in snacks like chips and pretzels, as well as in baked goods such as muffins, cakes, and pastries, adding moisture and a distinct flavor.

Sweet potatoes are recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. They are a source of beta-carotene, fiber, and vitamin C. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sweet potatoes and their components. Evidence suggests that consuming sweet potatoes as part of a balanced diet can contribute to overall health due to their nutrient profile.
