What are GMOs?GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms,” are plants or animals that have been genetically engineered with DNA from bacteria,
viruses or other plants and animals. These experimental combinations of genes from different species cannot occur in nature
or in traditional crossbreeding.
Virtually all commercial GMOs are engineered to withstand direct application of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide.
Despite biotech industry promises, none of the GMO traits currently on the market offer increased yield, drought tolerance,
enhanced nutrition, or any other consumer benefit.
Meanwhile, a growing body of evidence connects GMOs with health problems, environmental damage and violation of farmers’ and consumers’ rights.
Are GMOs safe?Most developed nations do not consider GMOs to be safe. In more than 60 countries around the world, including Australia, Japan,
and all of the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production and sale of GMOs.
In the U.S., the government has approved GMOs based on studies conducted by the same corporations that created them and profit
from their sale. Increasingly, Americans are taking matters into their own hands and choosing to opt out of the GMO experiment.
Are GMOs labeled?Unfortunately, even though polls consistently show that a significant majority of Americans want to know if the food they’re purchasing
contains GMOs, the powerful biotech lobby has succeeded in keeping this information from the public. In the absence of mandatory labeling,
the Non-GMO Project was created to give consumers the informed choice they deserve.
Where does the Non-GMO Project come in?
The Non-GMO Project is a non-profit organization with a mission of protecting the non-GMO food supply and giving consumers an informed
choice. We offer North America’s ONLY third party verification for products produced according to rigorous best practices for GMO avoidance
(for more info, click here). Our strategy is to empower consumers to make change through the marketplace. If people stop buying GMOs,
companies will stop using them and farmers will stop growing them.
