The labeling of genetically modified ingredients (GMOs) has become increasingly important to many consumers. It is a complicated and complex issue as more GMO crops are deregulated and cross-contamination is more prevalent. 


A recent Thomson Rueters Pulse Healthcare Survey showed that 93 percent of Americans believe GMO foods should be labeled - currently labeling of GMO's is not required. Last year the Just Label It! campaign garnered over 1 million comments that expressed to the FDA that GMO foods need to be labeled. More than 40 nations have GMO labeling (USDA National Statistical Service).


At Wheatsfield you may see the Non GMO Project logo on various packaged grocery products. This project offers the only third party verification in North America for GMO avoidance in food products.
