What is NON GMO?

It is very likely that you have consumed food made with ingredients derived from genetically modified crops. Many GMO products are used in the manufacture of foodstuffs such as corn starch, corn syrup, corn oil, soybean oil, canola oil or granulated sugar.

What is NON GMO?

GMO foods also include fruits and vegetables such as potatoes, summer squash, apples and papayas. GMO products are not only used in consumed foods, but also used for animal feed.

To help consumers understand whether the foods they eat contain GMOs, the U.S. Department of Agriculture maintains a list of bioengineered foods available worldwide. In addition, as the new national bioengineered food disclosure standard becomes widespread, the bioengineered label will begin to appear on the foodstuffs you consume.

Only a few types of genetically modified crops are grown in the United States today. However, some of these GMOs make up a large percentage of the crop grown. For example, soybean, corn, sugar beet, canola and cotton are the leading crops. The ratio of GMO products in these products is over 90 percent. Moreover, most GMO plants are used to make ingredients that are then used in other food products. For example, cornstarch made from GMO corn and sugar made from GMO sugar beets.

A GMO, or genetically modified organism, is a plant, animal, or microorganism whose genetic makeup has been modified in a laboratory using genetic engineering or transgenic technology. GMO is an abbreviation derived from the expression genetically modified organism (GMO, genetically modified organism). NON GMO means non-GMO. GMOs are combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and virus genes that do not occur in nature or by traditional hybridization methods.

Genetic modification directly or indirectly affects many of the products consumed daily. The number of GMOs suitable for commercial use is increasing every year. For this reason, standards are set and testing and certification studies are carried out for the detection and verification of non-GMO products. For a product to be approved as non-GMO, its inputs must be evaluated within the framework of established risk levels.Inhibitory.

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.
