- Sixty-six of Lundberg Family Farms’ products are among the first to be officially “Non-GMO Verified” by the Non-GMO Project.
- “It is very important for the consumer to have an educated choice between food containing GMO's and those that are non-GMO,” says Grant Lundberg, CEO of Lundberg Family Farms.
- Grant Lundberg serves as one of 11 governing members of the Non-GMO Project's board of directors that has been involved in initiating, funding, and writing standards for the Non-GMO Project since its inception; the Non-GMO Project is a nonprofit organization to offer consumers a consistent non-GMO choice for organic and natural products that are produced without genetic engineering or recombinant DNA technologies.
- Non-GMO Project is the only organization offering independent verification of testing and GMO controls for products in the United States and Canada.
Reflection
I really liked this article. I liked this article so much because it shows how controversial a subject as GMOs are. I feel that a non-GMO product is a good idea, but it will be very hard to keep it up because many materials are now contaminated with genetically modified organisms. Something as controversial as genetically modified organisms is a matter that must be thought through before anybody assumes what he/she believes in.
