Are your almonds genetically engineered?
1485764
I purchased these almonds and like their flavor. I am 100% certain almonds are not (yet) genetically engineered. I am against any genetic tampering with our food supply and follow GE developments closely. There is one variety of apple that is GE, but so far no nuts. These almonds are not organically grown, so they may have been grown with synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and insecticides. However, the almond itself is protected by a hard shell. You may want to contact the association of California Almond Growers to get more information.

I'm just a customer, so I don't know the answer to this question. I do know that they aren't organic(which means they definitely AREN't GMO). Also they aren't truly raw in the common vernacular( they are steamed) and even though they are called "sprout-able" they DON'T ACTUALLY SPROUT. I will not be buying them again.

I can't answer that question because I do not know. I don't think they are but I can't say for sure. Sorry

I called LE & spoke with a nutritional consultant named Adam. He said that the origin of the MK7 is Non-Gmo corn.

I don't know if the product is derived out of GMO's. Most plant / animal sources are these days,

Raw almonds are straight from the tree....they are shelled and apparently any almonds sold within the united states have to be pasturized.

Going by the box, this is an "extract" pulled directly from the almond nut not a synthetic flavor, this is a natural, organic, product. Check out a dictionary definition of "extract" for a solid definition. Don't know about the technicalities of allergens so can't respond to that part of the inquiry.

This is made at an almond only facility in CA. Check out their website too!

There is little food available anywhere in the world that is not genetically modified. Fortunately, the more modern methods, using gene implantation, are much safer and predictable than the old methods of cross-breeding or grafting, which gave very unpredictable results and sometimes came up toxic. Don't worry about the French farmers' objections; they are just afraid that greater productivity will lower the price they get.

They are NOT organic, and they are NOT GMO. I contacted the company and this was their reply... "Our almonds are conventionally grown - conventionally grown products, use fertilizers and pesticides which allow for higher yield, out of season growth, greater resistance, and greater longevity. After growth, the almonds used in our natural almond flour are then steam pasteurized. The blanched almonds are considered pasteurized when they go through the blanching process (which uses steam to remove the skins to get the white color of blanched flour). Additionally, all of our almonds are non-GMO."

The label does not state that the almonds are organic. The facts on the label also state that the almonds are grown on a 3rd generation farm in California. Hope this helps! PS: it is pretty good though.

Straight from the Bob's web site:Are your products genetically modified? No. All of our products originate from identity-preserved,non-GMO seeds. This means thatthe seed planted in the ground is non-GMO. We do not guarantee the complete absence of GMO materials in our products because of wind drift, pollinators and our lack of testing equipment. And the stuff is GOOOOOD too. I use the gluten free masa every week to make tortillas.

The genes of soybeans grown in the US have been genetically modified (unless labeled "organic"). Maybe that's why soy-based products are toxic.

Hello and thank you for your question. Yes, our probiotic is derived from dairy but it is Non-GMO. We do not agree with GMO products in any way. We hope this answers your concerns.

I asked the company (California Almonds LLC) via email and this is the response I received: "It is a federal law that almonds grown in California and sold in the US must be pasteurized. We have a company that does a 'dry steam' treatment to the skin of the almonds. The almonds are not cooked and most of them will sprout when you soak them in water for 24 hours. You will see a small tip begin to grown and the almonds will be bigger in size."I ordered these almonds, soaked six of them for 24 hours and they all sprouted as promised!

I think if a company says they are 100% organic pillows and they lie, they are breaking a law. I don't know if they are GMO. I love the pillows and I covered them with an allergy 100% organic cotton cover, and a 100% organic cotton pillow case. If you BUY one and bring it for testing, please let me know if they were lying about organics.

The term modified as applied to food starch does not necessarily mean genetic modification. It can be modified genetically or physically. The type of corn, waxy maize, is a non-GMO corn which is then mechanically processed to create an instant product. It's kind of a cool process where a starch slurry is made and then it's put in a machine which adds air and helps it dry fluffy. Think of it like texturing a wall or flocking a Christmas tree. :) So the genetics are never messed with, but it is modified to create an instant much like dried milk or other instant products.
