I know this same brand makes an organic version for a little more money, does anyone know if this coconut milk is GMO free?

just like the previous answers, I too have not heard of GMO coconuts yet; I bought it for the BPA free can;

I don't know of any GMO coconut trees so it probably is GMO free. My understanding is that coconuts are typically organic (not sprayed anyway) which fits in with my experience of travelling in tropical countries where they seem to grow just fine all over the place.

The can does not state that it is GMO free. However, coconuts are not one of the big GMO products (think corn and soy).

I agree with R. Ross. Label does not say organic. However I do not recall ever reading anything about GMO stevia. I do like this brand but if you are looking for strictly organic powder Stevia I also like two others: SweetLeaf Organic Stevia and also White Label Premium Herbs & Spices sells 100% Pure Organic White Stevia Extract Powder. Both of those are consistently good quality. I have purchased them from Amazon several times each.

We love this coconut milk and re-order it regularly. It does, however, have guar gum in the list of ingredients, as follows: organic coconut milk, water, guar gum (thickener).

Well, it says "natural" a few places on the package and says: "is made of 100% durable,lint-free,cotton and that's all- no bleach, no additives." Nothing about GMO's. or Organic.

You have Hit upon, one of the Best Companies out there. They are not only NON-GMO-verified, but also 1% of All Sales go to Sustainable Agriculture. This Oil is Organic, Unrefined, Cold Pressed, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. No refrigeration is needed. Also, It's not Processed with Hexane like a lot of Coconut Oils are, and also Pesticide Free.I think that about does it. Enjoy your Coconut Oil, you won't find a Better One.

I don't believe it is hydrogenated - it says shredded and dehydrated coconut. It doesn't carry the non-GMO project verification, but it is certified organic.

Yes! It is labeled as gmo-free! In fact I just ran out, time to pick up another bag!

It says that it is manufactured in a facility that also uses tree nuts soy wheat and milk. doesn't have the seal of approval for no gmo but it does have the seal for organic.

This one is not, it is natural. Their organic coconut milk will say "organic" where this one says natural

I am assuming it is free from GMOs because it is Organic. Organic can not have GMOs.

I buy this brand because the only ingredient is coconut. There are no "fraken-foods" ingredients such as guar gums, carragean, etc. In addition, the cans are bpa free. Organic means no pesticides. If you have non organic without artifical ingredients you should be in pretty good shape.

Thank you for answering...but as far as i know organic does not mean it is also GMO, right?

I sent this back. I bought Garden of Life organic plant calcium which has NO GMO. Look it up on amazon. It's a little pricey,but its worth it. Good luck!a

Annie Chun's website doesn't state if it is GMO free. Their seaweed snacks contain canola oil though and it is notorious for being genetically modified.

While there is no 'coconut water authenticity agency', we are able to read the ingredients. In the same way that we buy rBST-free milk or GMO-free soy sauce and hope that the labeling is honest, we buy Zico. Though, for what it is worth, VitaCoco tastes waaay better.

Despite its name, coconut milk is quite different from dairy milk. It's high in fat, but it's also cholesterol-free and rich in many nutrients. Because it's not derived from the milk of animals, coconut milk is lactose-free and can be a perfect alternative for people pursuing a lactose-free diet. SO YES! For me I can't have any dairy and coconut works great for me also Almond Milk :0)
