Lundberg has announced that 66 of its products have been verified as free from genetically modified (GM) ingredients under the Non-GMO Project’s Verification Program (PVP).

 

The PVP uses a process combining on-site audits, genetic testing of ingredients and a document-based review to confirm that foods do not contain GM ingredients.

 

CEO of Lundberg Family Farms Grant Lundberg said: “It is very important for the consumer to have an educated choice between food containing GMOs and those that are Non-GMO. It has been my pleasure to work with the Non-GMO Project and like-minded members of the natural foods community to draft the first comprehensive non-GMO standards in the United States.”
