Why are you against the Washington State GMO Labeling Initiative?
2076452
Organic products cannot be produced from GMO (regulated by the federal government) but I did see that the Muir Glen company is on the list of companies against the Washington State GMO Labeling Initiative. Not sure why an organic company would be in favor of GMO's but it may be owned by a larger corp that uses GMO'S.

Jill, it is not organic and no mention of GMO. When I buy the next time this will be something I will make sure of.

It is not labeled as such. It has been a while since I ordered it since I had gotten a double pack, so things may have changed. My experience is that NOW Foods has not traditionally been known for non GMO products. I just had a hard time finding this product made by anyone, so I got it because I had good luck with it.

As previous posters note, the current label does say Non-GMO. I think the confusion comes from an earlier label for the product which does not have the Non-GMO notation. In years past, GMO crops weren't 'on the radar' like they are now. This seems to be a quality product.

Hello, On the back of the label it states Non-GMO. Hope this helps. Thanks!

While I agree with you regarding the use of products that do harm, I must say I'm wary of giving the government even more regulatory power. The FDA (which is most likely the agency that would govern this) is NOT your friend. I'm sure, for example, that there are probably cures for diseases that would make companies far less $$ than treating a disease. I think the FDA is in bed with big Pharma regarding things like that. IMO, the federal government already has way too much power and spends billions a year in support of all the regulatory agencies. Have you ever looked at a list of 'em?Although it would take longer, I believe educating people is the better way to go.

I'm sorry, I can't help you. I don't think it was mentioned on the label. I believe it's non GMO though.

I don't really know. It works very well for the bread that I make and GMO is not something I considered. Organic is something I consider often but not always.

Non GMO. None of this would have Native grasses for MT. The price for natives would be 6x what this cost.

I see it on the label from here.. non gmo in the red circle top left.. if it really is non gmo thats amazing.. corn is the most genetically modified product after soy.. Im going to try it just for that reason!

It's mostly because the State of CA has gone WAY overboard. See http://www.nutribiotic.com/ca_notice.html for the reason it is labled. This product is as safe to eat as a raw apple.

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

Haha good one, I just gave it a try, because I saw a lot of great reviews :) & not many supplements are certified :) esply the ones that are gmo free...u see my point.

Great question....... Typically we try to go the "Organic" route on most of our foods as well.......but if you did your homework you will see the the gov't owns the rights to the term "organic" as far as store bought foods is concerned, so how honest are they really being is the question? Now, why I continue to buy this product is that fact that they are oats off of a non-GMO (genetically modified organisms) farm, which to me, goes farther than putting an "organic" label on something. Not sure I fully answered your question, but I am up to this point still a strong advocate of Bob's Red Mill Rolled Oats. Especially good with Raw unpasteurized honey and raw/organic cinnamon!

I contacted the company because I was also interested in this answer. Here is their response. "Thank you for your inquiry. As one of the leading dietary supplement manufacturers catering to the professional market, Metagenics values the concerns of clinicians and consumers of its supplements and are committed to using safe and clinically effective ingredients. We have a strong initiative to source non-GMO ingredients and a number of years ago embarked on an internal program to review each-and-every ingredient sourced by Metagenics. We are now nearing end of that exhaustive review and, to date, greater than ninety-eight percent of the approximately six-hundred individual raw materials have been reviewed by Metagenics as being "GMO-free." All major raw materials used in the manufacture of its dietary supplements, functional foods, and medical foods have been reviewed and verified regarding non-GMO status and Metagenics is committed to review of the last few remaining minor raw materials. As to "GMO-free" labeling, this is not used at this time due to ethical consideration as state and/or Federal authorities have not ratified specific GMO-free definition."

Thanks for letting me know what you found out. Like you, I wish GMO labeling was mandatory. Glad that the number I gave you helped.
