Protected: Non-GMO Project Verification

Non-GMO Project Verification for the majority of ingredients 

Gene technology and genetically modified crops have been important topics in the food industry for many years. The subject has and continues to have a big impact in the agricultural sector and hence, in the whole food and beverage supply chain. The technology and its benefits are widely accepted in the industry, however, people want to be able to make an educated choice between consuming products of conventional origin and products that have been produced with gene technology. People seek reliability about the origin of their daily food and the technologies used to make it. 

Throughout the world there are big differences in the labelling requirements for GMO food. While in Europe the labelling laws are very strict, the regulations in the United States of America do not require mentioning genetical modification on food labels. For consumers it is thus not easy to find information about the GMO status of their favourite products. 

In response to consumers’ needs, voluntary Non-GMO labeling options emerged. Independent organisations designed Non-GMO labelings that food and beverage makers can use on their finsihed products after an in-depth scrutiny of the entire product history regarding use of GMO technologies. Part of that scrutiny are also the food additives and ingredients used and therefore, also suppliers of raw materials must respond to that requirement of the consumer and take a stand regarding genetic modification in foods and beverages.
