Some companies, using the sensitivity of people, can put the non-GMO label on many products. Therefore, the non-GMO label does not always mean that it replaces a GMO alternative. These companies can put the non-GMO label on foods that have never been developed with biotechnology. For example, it is not possible to find GMO tomatoes on the market shelves.

By the way, a misconception is to think that labels like NON GMO or GMO FREE mean that the product is healthier. There is scientific consensus that GMO foods are just as healthy as non-GMO foods. They are sometimes even considered to be healthier. Therefore, the consumption of genetically modified foodstuffs is considered safe for today. However, it should not be forgotten that the history of these studies is very close and there has not been any study yet on the long-term effects of GMO products.

One misconception about non-GMO products is that they are better for the environment. Whereas a few GMO crops use less water and less pesticides, but generally require more environmental resources.

non-GMO label, does not mean that the product is completely non-GMO. According to the current restrictions, NON GMO food products can contain up to 1 percent GMO ingredients. This rate is 5 percent for livestock, poultry, beef and seafood feed and supplements, and 1,5 percent for inedible products such as lotions and cleaning supplies.

Genetically modified organisms are very common in consumed foodstuffs and are present in most foods. These include corn, soybean, sugar beet and canola oil. However, although they are ubiquitous, they are not without some unknown aspects. Many countries do not have a label stating this on foods made with GMO ingredients. Therefore, most people do not know how often they consume GMO-containing foods or their by-products. However, it is the responsibility of companies to know this and enable them to make the right choices.

Our organization acts with a sense of responsibility in order to be with people who consciously care about their health and to help them choose the foodstuffs they will need, and tries to support manufacturers to prove their efforts in this direction.
