There are many internationally accepted criteria for products in food and other categories to be evaluated within the scope of the NON GMO or GMO Free certification program.

The products to which these criteria apply are generally crops such as soybeans, alfalfa, maize, products intended for human consumption such as meat, eggs and dairy products, components used in the production of food products such as processing aids, livestock feed and silage inoculants, and human use products such as cosmetics and clothing. are products.

In the GMO Free and NON GMO label and certification program, gene editing and gene silencing are considered genetic modifications and do not meet the desired criteria, so they are never accepted.

Products that are expected to meet the NON GMO criteria are evaluated in two groups as containing and not containing animal components.

For labeling criteria for products containing animal ingredients, when a product contains or is derived from any animal product, the farm animals from which they originate must also be approved under species-specific standards.

The NON GMO criteria set apply to all live animals that produce certified meat and dairy products, fiber and eggs, the various products raised on and off the farm to feed them, and the inputs used to produce both the products and animals.

The purpose of the criteria is to provide meaning and value to the claim that these products are marketed as non-GMO products by establishing, maintaining, and keeping publicly available a strict set of requirements under which NON GMO or GMO Free labeled products are evaluated. Thus, both the manufacturer confirms his claim and the consumer creates a purchase preference with confidence.
