Is the Non-GMO Project good?
Yes, the Non-GMO Project is good, but it is a bit misleading. Though they test each product before the product is listed as non-GMO, many people may not realize that foods do not have to be totally free of GMOs to be listed. The foods may contain a certain amount of GMOs, which means that any product on the list may not be totally free of GMOs.
What gmo or non gmo mean?
A non-GMO is an organism that has not been altered in a lab with a gene from an unrelated organism, such as corn that has been altered with a gene from a bacteria.
How can you tell if your corn is GMO?
If you are a farmer, you know the corn you are gowing is GMO because you buy seeds that are known to be GMO. If you are gowing non-GMO varieties, you do not know if GMO vaieties have cross pollinated with your corn unless you get it tested. If you are a consumer, you do not know if the corn or processed foods containing corn is GMO unless it is labeled as such. In the United States GMO foods are not labeled.
Why are GMOs considered a threat to biodiversity?
Organic crops are non GMO, but GMO crops of the same kind can cross pollinate with them, resulting in contamination of the organic crops.
How are non-genetically modified organisms different from genetically modified organisms?
Genetically modified organisms (GMO) are different from non-genetically modified organisms in that GMO have had their genes manipulated and intentionally changed by human action in a laboratory. With GMO we can introduce any particular character by providing gene sequence responsible for that character

What kind of vitamins do GMO foods have?
GMO foods asummably have the same vitamins as the equivalent non-GMO foods.
What is known about the food production capabilities of GMO's?
GMO corn and soy are no more productive than non-GMO corn and soy.
Do you sell purple corn?
I work for a company here in the United States that grows and sells purple corn. All of our corn is non-gmo organic or non-gmo non organic.
What are the laws on growing genetically engeneered food?
In the United States, genetically modified foods have been declared to be "substantially equivalent" to non-GMO foods, so there are no differences in how they are grown. There are recommendations for GMO farmers to plant barriers of non-GMO crops to cut down on cross pollination of their crops with non-GMO crops, but these are just recommendations and are not enforced.
Is certify an adverb?
Non, "certifier" n'est pas un adverbe, c'est un verbe.
How long does genetically modified food last?
GMO foods last about the same amount of time as non-GMo foods.
How can you tell if your corn is GMO?

Are apples seedless?
seedless non gmo apples?
Why was the non GMO food control prepared prior to your test food sample?
In the grinding process, airborne particles can travel through the air and contaminate samples of non-GMO foods. Also a mortar and pestle that is not properly washed can transfer minute sample. PCR only needs ONE molecule of DNA to make amplified product.
What does the term initial isolation distance mean?
Initial isolation distance refers to the minimum distance required between a genetically modified organism (GMO) field trial and other non-GMO crops of the same species to prevent cross-pollination and maintain genetic integrity of the non-GMO crops. It is meant to minimize the risk of genetic contamination and maintain the purity of non-GMO crops.
