NON GMO Validation Criteria


NON GMO certification, and the associated labeling, means that a product has been produced to strict GMO avoidance criteria, giving consumers the best assurance that a product is GMO-free. 

NON GMO Validation Criteria

Today's savvy consumers tend to purchase products registered and verified with NON GMO certification, creating a multi-billion dollar market, while also being the best way to support the continued availability of non-GMO options.

Our organization has developed a third-party, process-based certification program with an internationally recognized standard definition so that the consumer can easily and safely distinguish non-GMO products in the market.

Some of the product validation criteria of NON GMO certification are as follows;

  • Action Thresholds: These are limits for incidental genetically modified material, including 0,25% for seed, 0,9% for food, and 1,5% for feed. There are also differences in these thresholds that allow for continuous improvement.
  • Testing and Inspection: These reduce the risk of GMOs and ensure compliance with the Non-GMO Project standard.
  • Product Validation Database: A central database automates and optimizes the product validation process, making it simple, efficient and affordable.
  • Central Role of Organic Approvers: Non-GMO inspection services can be combined with annual organic inspections to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
  • Traceability: The program works at all levels of the supply chain and extends to seeds.
