THE NON-GMO PROJECT

The Non-GMO Project is committed to preserving and building sources of non-GMO products, educating consumers, and providing verified non-GMO choices. The Non-GMO Project works in several different capacities to ensure the availability of non-GMO products and to help support informed choice. We offer North America’s most trusted third party verification and labeling for non-GMO food and products. We also educate consumers and the food industry to help build awareness about GMOs and their impact on our health and food systems.

Product Verification Program: The Non-GMO Project offers North America's only third party verification for non-GMO food and products. The Non-GMO Project seal is the most widely recognized and trusted non-GMO label in the market.

Outreach and Education: The organization helps educate the 3,000 brands we work with, so they can inform retailers and shoppers about the importance of preserving and building a non-GMO food supply. We engage the public by creating educational videos, podcasts, and newsletters that are shared via social media (1.2 million Facebook followers), online channels (over 4 million website visits per year), and our Non-GMO Project App (220,000 downloads). The Non-GMO Project also actively supports events across Canada and the United States with educational pocket guides.

Non-GMO Month: Non-GMO Month is an annual campaign in October that brings together retailers, manufacturers and shoppers to celebrate consumers' right to know what is in the food they eat. With more than 14,000 retailers participating, this event reaches shoppers all across the United States and Canada.

The organization's Product Verification Program and is governed by "The Non-GMO Project Standard", a consensus-based document crafted with the insight from dozens of industry experts, reflecting a dynamic range of perspectives. Because of this collaboration with engaged stakeholder groups, Non-GMO Project Verified is a meaningful and achievable way for suppliers, brands and retailers to show their commitment to providing consumers transparent choice in the marketplace.

Since 2010, the number of Non-GMO Project Verified products has grown from less than 500 products to over 56,000, representing over $26 billion in sales. In the past year alone, the number of Participating Retailers increased from 3,059 to 14,210 stores across North America.

Consumer awareness of GMOs is at an all time high, with the Non-GMO Project seal offering the most trusted and rigorous standard for GMO avoidance to the consumer.
