What is the NON GMO Certification Process?


NON GMO certification and labeling reassures consumers that a product has completed extensive third-party verification to demonstrate that it fully complies with non-GMO product standards. 

What is the NON GMO Certification Process?

When it comes to certification programs like NON GMO or GMO free, third-party certifications are best because they ensure the claim is impartial, rigorous, and transparent. The purpose of NON GMO certification is to provide meaning and value to the non-GMO marketing claim by establishing, maintaining and keeping publicly available a strict set of requirements by which all non-GMO products are measured.

The NON GMO certification process starts with the application to our organization. After a preliminary evaluation, the necessary tests and analyzes are carried out and the results are evaluated in terms of compliance with the necessary standards and criteria.

Some advanced laboratory tests are required for the NON GMO certification program. These tests are carried out with biotechnological methods and the results are evaluated with the criteria in the legal regulation principles and developed standards. In this way, the presence and amount of GMOs in the sample are determined. In these tests, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based test methods are used and strict controls are made.

As a result, our organization verifies the accuracy of non-GMO production claims on products by ensuring that the ingredients included in the certification program are not genetically engineered using modern biotechnology.

After all these stages, the products that are evaluated positively can obtain the NON GMO certificate. Thanks to the logo usage right that comes with the certificate, they can use the NON GMO label on their product packaging.
