HOW TO AVOID BRANDS MADE WITHGENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS (GMOs)Genetic Engineering (GE) or Genetic Modification (GM) of food involvesthe laboratory process of artificially inserting genes into the DNA of foodcrops or animals. The result is called a genetically modified organism orGMO. GMOs can be engineered with genes from bacteria, viruses, insects,animals, or even humans. Most Americans say they would not eat GMOsif labeled, but unlike most other industrialized countries, the U.S. doesnot require labeling.

4 TIPS FOR AVOIDING GMOSTIP #1: BUY ORGANIC Certified organicproducts cannot intentionally contain any GMOingredients.

TIP #2: LOOK FOR NON-GMO

PROJECT VERIFIED SEALSThis guide features brands enrolled in the Non-GMO Project. The Non- GMOProject is a non-profit organization committed to providing consumers withclearly labeled and independently verified non-GMO choices including test-ing of at-risk ingredients. Visit NonGMOProject.org for more informationon their third-party product verification program. Look for dairy productslabeled No rBGH or rBST, or artificial hormone-free.

TIP #3: AVOID AT-RISK INGREDIENTS If its not labeledorganic or verified non-GMO: Avoid products made with ingredi-ents that might be derived from GMOs. The eight GM food crops areCorn, Soybeans, Canola, Cottonseed, Sugar Beets, HawaiianPapaya (most) and a small amount of Zucchini and Yellow Squash.

Sugar: If a non-organic product made in North American lists sugaras an ingredient (and NOT pure cane sugar), then it is almost certain-ly a combination of sugar from both sugar cane and GM sugar beets.

Dairy: Products may be from cows injected with GM bovine growthhormone. If its not labeled Organic, or Non-GMO Project, veri-fied look for labels stating No rbGH, rbST, or artificial hormones.

TIP #4: BUY PRODUCTS LISTED IN THIS GUIDE VisitNonGMOShoppingGuide.com to download a complete list of Non-GMOproducts available from each brand in this guide or use ShopNoGMO App

This Non-GMO Shopping Guide is designed to help reclaim your right toknow about the foods you are buying, and help you find and avoid GMOfoods and ingredients.It does not cover other potentially harmfulingredients, allergens, colors or additives.

Are you vegan, lactose intolerant or have allergies to dairy? Youre probablyalready familiar with dairy alternatives, such as soy milk, almond milk, ricemilk, and other substitute products. Since so many alternative dairy productsare made from soybeans, be aware that they may contain GM materials.

Most juices are made from non-GMO fruit (avoid papaya though, as it could be theHawaiian GMO variety), but the prevalence of corn-based sweeteners e.g. high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS)in fruit juices is cause for concern. Many sodas are pri-marily comprised of water and corn syrup. Look for 100 percent juice blends. Somebrands are now moving away from HFCS to sugar, but unless it is pure cane sugar,it will include sugar from GM sugar beets. The sweetener aspartame is derived fromGM microorganisms. It is also referred to as NutraSweet and Equal and is found inover 6,000 products, including diet drinks and diet sodas.

The GM ingredients found in body care products are largely soy and cornderivatives.

While baking ingredients such as wheat flour, rice, kamut, and oats are not geneti-cally modified, many packaged breads and bakery items contain other GMO ingre-dients such as corn syrup, soy flour, and sugar from sugar beets.

Many sweeteners, and products like candy and chocolate that contain them, cancome from GMO sources. Look for organic and non-GMO sweeteners, candy andchocolate products made with 100% cane sugar (to avoid the GM beet sugar),evaporated cane juice or organic sugar. And watch out for soy lecithin in chocolatesand corn syrup in candies. The sweetener aspartame is derived from GM microor-ganisms. It is also referred to as NutraSweet or Equal and is found in over 6,000products, including soft drinks, gum, candy, desserts, yogurt, tabletop sweeteners,and some pharmaceuticals such as vitamins and sugar-free cough drops.

Are you vegan, lactose intolerant or have allergies to dairy? Youre probably alreadyfamiliar with dairy alternatives, such as soy milk, almond milk, rice milk, and othersubstitute products. Since so many alternative dairy products are made from soy-beans, be aware that they may contain GM materials.

Unless labeled explicitly, corn, soybean, cottonseed, and canola oils produced inNorth America almost certainly contain genetically modified products. Choose pureolive, coconut, sesame, sunflower, safflower, almond, grapeseed, and peanut oils.Also choose preserves, jams, and jellies with cane sugar, not unspecified sugar(which will likely contain GM beet sugar) or corn syrup.

Some US dairy farms inject the genetically engineered hormone rbGH, also called rbST,into their cows to boost milk production. There are now many dairy products withlabels that indicate they do not use rbGH or rbST. Their cows may still be fed GM feed.Organic dairy products are, however, all rbGH-free and do not use GM grains as feed.

Milk or soy protein is the basis of most infant formulas. The secret ingredients

in these products are often soy, or milk from cows injected with rbGH. Manybrands also add GMO-derived corn syrup, corn syrup solids, or soy lecithin.

If youre raising poultry or livestock and want to avoid GM feed in your ani-mals diet, look for organic and Non-GMO Project verified products. Talk toyour veterinarian for detailed information on providing a balanced diet foryour livestock.

Very few fresh fruits and vegetables for sale in the U.S. are genetically modi-fied. Novel products such as seedless watermelons are NOT genetically modi-fied. Small amounts of zucchini, yellow crookneck squash, and sweet cornmay be GM. The only commercialized GM fruit is papaya from Hawaii - abouthalf of Hawaiis papayas are GM. Even if the fruit or vegetable is non-GMO, ifit is packaged, frozen, or canned, there may be GM additives.

Other than corn, no GM grains are sold on the market. Look for 100 percentwheat flour, pasta, couscous, rice, quinoa, oats, barley, sorghum, and driedbeans (except soybeans).

Although there are no spices that are genetically modified, sometimes spicecombinations may include soy or corn derivatives.

No genetically modified fish, fowl, or livestock is yet approved for humanconsumption. However, plenty of foods are produced from animals raisedon GM feed such as grains. To avoid products from animals fed GMOs, lookfor organic products, wild caught (such as wild fish or game), and 100%grass-fed animals.

Many frozen and packaged meals are highly processed. Keep an eye outfor the Big Four at-risk ingredients and non-cane sugars. Stay away fromfrozen/packaged meals that contain them, unless they are marked organicor non-GM.

Other than corn, no GM grains are sold on the market. Look for 100 percent wheatpasta, couscous, and others.

We love our pets and want insure they have a long, healthy life with us. Researchshows that the number of pet health problems directly related to poor nutritionis increasing. Luckily, there are a number of certified organic, non-GMO pet foodsavailable. Talk to your veterinarian for detailed information on providing a balanceddiet for your pet.

Look for snacks made from wheat, rice, or oats, and ones that use sunflower or saf-flower oils. There is no GM popcorn on the market, nor is there blue or red GM corn.

Many soups and sauces are highly processed, so examine the ingredient lists closelyto avoid the Big Four at-risk ingredients and non-cane sugars.

Many alternative meat products are processed and include ingredients that can begenetically engineered, so give the ingredient lists close attention to avoid the BigFour at-risk ingredients, especially soy.

Many supplements use soy and corn derivatives, and some use GM microorganismsto produce their products.
