Non-GMO Project Verified

This label denotes products that have been certified as containing no genetically modified ingredients by the Non-GMO Project. The Non-GMO Project is a non-profit organization committed to preserving and building the non-GMO food supply, educating consumers, and providing verified non-GMO choices. We carry approximately 1,800 Non-GMO Project Verified products.

Gluten Free

An item made without the protein gluten, found commonly in grains and flours, including wheat, rye, semolina, and barley. Technically, the Food and Drug Administration defines “gluten free” as any food containing less than 20 parts per million of gluten.
