Introduction & OverviewWhat is a GMO?Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are made by forcing genes from one species, such as bacteria, viruses, animals, or humans, into the DNA of a food crop or animal in order to introduce a new trait.

Why Should I Avoid GMOs?The American Academy of Environmental Medicine reported, “Several animal studies indi-cate serious health risks associated with GM food,” including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin regulation, and changes in major organs and the gastroin-testinal system. They urge physicians to prescribe healthier non-GMO foods to everyone.

Tips to Avoid GMOsTip #1: Buy OrganicCertified organic products cannot intentionally include any GMO ingredients. Buy products labeled “100% organic”, “organic” or “made with organic ingredients”. You can be doubly sure if the product also has a “Non-GMO Project Verified” Seal.

Tip #2: Look for Non-GMO Project SealsThis guide features brands with products verified by the Non-GMO Project, a non-profit organization committed to providing consumers with clearly labeled and independently verified non-GMO choices, including testing of at-risk ingredients. The Non-GMO Project verifies per individual product, not for an entire brand. Some of the brands listed in this guide offer both GMO and Non-GMO items. Visit NonGMOProject.org for more information on the third-party product verification program.

Tip #3: Avoid At-Risk Ingredients

If it’s not labeled organic or verified non-GMO, avoid products made with ingredients that might be derived from GMOs. The eight GM food crops are corn, soybeans, canola, cot-tonseed, sugar beets, papaya from China or Hawaii (most), and a small amount of zucchini and yellow squash. GM alfalfa is also fed to livestock.

Sugar: If a non-organic product made in North America lists “sugar” as an ingredient (and NOT pure cane sugar), then it is almost certainly a combination of sugar from both sugar cane and GM sugar beets.

Dairy products may be from cows injected with GM bovine growth hormone. If it’s not labeled Organic, or Non-GMO Project Verified, look for labels stating No rbGH, rbST, or artificial hormones.

Are you vegan, lactose intolerant or have allergies to dairy? You’re probably already fa-miliar with dairy alternatives, such as soy milk, almond milk, rice milk, and other substitute products. Since so many alternative dairy products are made from soybeans, be aware that they may contain GM materials. The following brands have one or more products that have been verified by the Non-GMO Project:

Most juices are made from non-GMO fruit (avoid papaya though, as it could be the Hawaiian GMO variety), but the prevalence of corn-based sweeteners — e.g. high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS)—in fruit juices is cause for concern. Many sodas are primarily comprised of water and corn syrup. Look for 100 percent juice blends. Some brands are now moving away from HFCS to sugar, but unless it is pure cane sugar, it will include sugar from GM sugar beets. The sweetener aspartame is derived from GM microorganisms. It is also referred to as NutraSweet and Equal and is found in over 6,000 products, including diet drinks and diet sodas. The following brands have one or more products that have been verified by the Non-GMO Project:

Milk or soy protein is the basis of most infant formulas. The secret ingredients in these products are often soy, or milk from cows injected with rbGH. Many brands also add GMO-derived corn syrup, corn syrup solids, or soy lecithin. The following brands have one or more products that have been verified by the Non-GMO Project:

Many sweeteners, and products like candy and chocolate that contain them, can come from GMO sources. Look for organic and non-GMO sweeteners, candy and chocolate products made with 100% cane sugar (to avoid the GM beet sugar), evaporated cane juice or organic sugar. And watch out for soy lecithin in chocolates and corn syrup in candies.

The sweetener aspartame is derived from GM microorganisms. It is also referred to as NutraSweet or Equal and is found in over 6,000 products, including soft drinks, gum, candy, desserts, yogurt, tabletop sweeteners, and some pharmaceuticals such as vitamins and sugar-free cough drops.

Some US dairy farms inject the genetically engineered hormone rbGH, also called rbST, into their cows to boost milk production. There are now many dairy products with labels that indicate they do not use rbGH or rbST. Their cows may still be fed GM feed. Organic dairy products are, however, all rbGH-free and do not use GM grains as feed. To view a list of brands that do not use rbGH but are not yet enrolled in the Non-GMO Project, please visit nongmoshoppingguide.com/rbgh. The following brands have one or more products that have been verified by the Non-GMO Project:

If you’re raising poultry or livestock and want to avoid GM feed in your animal’s diet, look for organic and Non-GMO Project verified products. Talk to your veterinarian for detailed information on providing a balanced diet for your livestock. The following brands have one or more products that have been verified by the Non-GMO Project:

Very few fresh fruits and vegetables for sale in the U.S. are genetically modified. Novel products such as seedless watermelons are NOT genetically modified. Small amounts of zucchini, yellow crookneck squash, and sweet corn may be GM. The only commercialized GM fruit is papaya from Hawaii - about half of Hawaii’s papayas are GM. Even if the fruit or vegetable is non-GMO, if it is packaged, frozen, or canned, there may be GM additives. The following brands have one or more products that have been verified by the Non-GMO Project:
