About NON GMO


The expression NON GMO means that a product has been produced without genetic engineering and its ingredients are not derived from GMOs. NON GMO certification and labeling means that a product complies with criteria and standards that include stringent provisions for testing, traceability and separation.

Non-GMO

GMO foods, in short, are foods obtained from seeds and plants whose genetic codes have been modified in some way. While traditional breeding, which has been going on for centuries, involves mixing whole genes from two different sources, producing GMOs is much more targeted.

Most of the foodstuffs we have access to today are products made from GMO seeds. However, none of them are GMO products, etc. no statement is visible. Consumers have the right to know what kind of product they consume.

Wide-ranging claims are made by the industry and its supporters that genetically modified (GM) crops and foods do no harm and are even extremely beneficial. However, it is unscientific to approach these claims unilaterally.

When GMOs were introduced in the '90s, a food product didn't need a label if it contained a genetically modified ingredient. Regulators of some governments have determined that there is no appreciable difference in nutrition and food safety from other foods we eat that would require special labeling.

The World Health Organization suggests that each genetically modified food should be evaluated separately for its own safety, however, the perception is created in the international market that GMO foods have passed the safety assessments and have no adverse effects on human health.

NON GMO is one of the fastest growing claims in the food industry in recent years. Most consumers in the European Union agree that genetic engineering should be avoided in food production, regardless of education level or nationality.

GMOs create a pathway to advantages and benefits, but they also raise extremely important questions. Even 20 years after the introduction of gene plants, we still lack a comprehensive study of the effects of genetically modified plants on humans.

Genetic engineering is a difficult subject and not everyone has specialist knowledge. Therefore, it is particularly easy to influence consumer opinions with very little effort.
