Anyone know if the almonds used are non-GMO? Anyone know if they're grown without being sprayed w/glyphosate or other harmful pesticides?

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."

Their website says they are organic - "Organic and Natural" so I would assume (yeah, I know, not the best thing to do!) that they are non-gmo.

Are you disappointed that they're not part of the Non-GMO project or because you're concerned that the coconut can be GMO? It's always been my understanding that if an item is Fully Organic, it can't be or contain GMO's. So while this product isn't labeled as Non-GMO, the fact that it's simply coconut and not a "processed food" that would possibly contain Non-GMO items, I feel it's a pretty safe bet that it's Non-GMO.

Sorry, but I have no idea. Indeed, I had to look up "non-GMO certified" to learn what it meant! It might be helpful to e-mail genetic-id.com at info@genetic-id.com and see whether they have the answer. At cornucopia.org, it states that "Chia Goodness is verified GMO-free by the Non-GMO Project." Hope this helps. Stay healthy!

I would check w/ the vendor but I dont think so... I believe they are sourced as raw (unprocessed) California almonds

i did not see anything on their website either, but i remember reading (on a few different discussion threads online) that this popcorn is non-GMO. i emailed the company but have not yet heard back. if i do, i will respond with a definite answer.

Nojan,The almonds are from Spain and are a Valencia variety. We have a few different organic growers that we work with in Spain as our suppliers, depending on the time of the harvest season so we can obtain the freshest almonds.Best Regards,Terrasoul Superfoods

They are in the process of getting everything certified non-gmo. Right now only these products are certified: http://www.nongmoproject.org/find-non-gmo/search-participating-products/search/?brandId=194

Steam. I contacted the company. "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.

I'm not aware of any GMO almonds being grown anywhere in the world. And since the only ingredient is almonds . . . well there you go.

That's a great question. It only says 100% organic on the bucket but does not say anything about NON-GMO. Glad you brought that up. I will be looking for that label next time I'm ready to purchase more seeds.

I see no indication that it's non-GMO and if it was they would clearly have that listed I would think. You can always go to Nature's Way website and ask the company directly.

Unfortunately they can't claim non-gmo because the risk of seed contamination from someone else's fields (cross winds or something). I called them and was told they do not use GMO seeds or any gmo ingredients. It isn't enough for me, which is why I don't buy this anymore.

It does not state anywhere on the package that they are organic almonds, so I would suggest looking at their website & check their mission statement. I think if these were indeed organic, they would be proudly posting it on their product. I looked at cost first, but I will choose something different next time. It does have a wonderful consistency for baking though.

I don't have the box any more or any of the packets from it. I normally would tell you that almonds should be kosher but today they can be packaged in an non-kosher facility. Hopefully some else can tell you. If not see if you can find this brand in a store.

I honestly don't know. They are supposed to be non GMO, but that is no guaranty that they will sprout.
