Meat from animals that eat non-GMO feed has become more coveted as the debate around GE foods heats up within the United States. Just last fall, the USDA rejected a claim from Mindful Meats when they submitted a non-GMO label for their meats; at that time, the USDA had not created any rules regarding non-GMO products.

While certified organic does fall under the stipulations of non-GMO, another category of non-organic, non-GMO brands are now able to offer to their consumers a verified third-party claim.

This is a big win for our right to know, showcasing the desire by both brands and consumers for greater transparency in our food system.
