Probably because the growers of the beans did not opt to acquire the organic certification. There are plenty of growers, especially local, small farms, that don't use pesticides but you can't claim to be USDA certified if you're not and that is a lengthy (and sometimes costly, depending on the size of the farm) government procedure that some people just don't want to get involved with.

USDA organic certification is a process to prove the product meets the standards to be certified. USDA certification has either never been attempted with this product, or did it not meet the requirements to be certified. Possibly something in between. USDA certification isn't necessarily the highest standard of organic food anyway.

I know it is labeled organic. I can look at the label when I get home and see if it says Non-GMO Verified and respond again.

By law, products labeled Organic have no GMOs. Organic always means NON-GMO...

Not all organically raised products are non-GMO entirely. Organically raised simply refers to the way the product was grown, not the genetic composition of the product itself. Unless a product says it is non-GMO and 100% certified organic, it may be GMO in part.

The following was taken directly from their web site:"All certified organic products are produced without the use of GMOs in accordance with the USDA's National Organic Program (NOP). The NOP prohibits the intentional use of genetically modified organisms in organic products."

Hi, the bottle says 100% organic, but I don't know if that automatically means USDA certified.

I looked on the label and on the box. I cannot find anywhere where the manufacturer states that this product is non-GMO.

I don't actually know for sure but we have bought from them on several occasions and have been very pleased with our product. It is called "organic & non-gmo" so I think that means no chemicals.

Unfortunately, this product is not certified non-GMO and may contain GMO ingredients from cross contamination.

I read an article about GMOs a while back and it said that just because something is organic does not mean it's non-GMO. It has to say certified non-GMO on the package for it to be GMO free.

There is no text on the container indicating that it is organic / pesticide free.

I'm not sure. It doesn't say anything about it being certified organic on the bottle.

While this product does not claim to be organic, it does state it contains no GMO ingredients.

If food is labeled organic it is Non-GMO and free of pesticides. If food is labeled Non-GMO but not organic it may not be pesticide free.

Organic is always NON GMO, its the NON GMO That is not always organic. Non gmo only can still have pesticides but organic can have neither. This company is Defiantely Non Gmo and Organic, and the product is Lovely! just Pure Lavender flowers no fillers.

The package says USDA Organic. By definition, that implies non-GMO soybeans. I really love this product because it's so high in protein and has all the benefits of soy.

I don't know if organic requires non-gmo. I think you would need a remark on the product indicating that.
