A further clarification if I may. What is the difference between GMO and 'they've enhanced this tree genetically to keep it pest resistant'
1968598
That is the answer that was provided by the grower, we actually don't know the difference ourselves, but this tree is classified as GMO by the grower.

I just spent 10 minutes on their website and while it says they grow their nutritional yeast on beets and cane molasses, nowhere do they state that the beets or molasses is non-gmo. I would rather assume that they ARE using GMO products to grow their nutritional yeast - because if they were not, I believe they would say so. This is a company with many healthy products...so there is no reason not to list whether it's GMO or non-GMO. I won't buy it because they don't clarify enough for me.

Sorry, I have no way of determining that. I really think it has more to do with what you do with the seed after receiving it when you talk organic. I also don't know if the seeds were genetically modified. You should be able to get some information from the seed packet. If not, you could try contacting the supplier.

According to their FAQs section: "Are your products genetically modified?No. All of our products originate from identity-preserved, non-GMO seeds. This means that the 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."The USDA also notes: "The use of genetic engineering, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), is prohibited in organic products." - See more at: http://blogs.usda.gov/2013/05/17/organic-101-can-gmos-be-used-in-organic-products/#sthash.LHyAXhvz.dpufHope that helps!

This is the answer from Bob's Red Mill website: Are your products genetically modified? All of our products originate from identity-preserved, non-GMO seeds. This means that the 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.

Not GMO, but wheat and other grains in the USA are sprayed with Round Up at time of harvest to yield more seeds and to make harvesting easier for the combines. I only use certified organic anymore.

No, the product is not genetically modified as far I am aware. I am sure my holistic doctor would have informed me if this was the case. Thanks!

According to Life Extension's response to "Should I be concerned with the usage of genetically modified plants (GMOs)? Soybeans are an example of a crop that has used extensive genetic engineering to increase crop yield. The reality is that soybean oil and soy lecithin are highly processed derivatives of soy ... far removed from their soy origin. Genetic modification doesn't alter the entire plant... only a specific gene. Thus, specific molecules like soy lecithin are the same whether they come from a GMO or non-GMO soy source. However, due to our sensitivity to customer concerns, products with corn and soy-based active ingredients are in process of having the labels updated to list when soy and corn-derived active ingredients have been certified to be from non-GM food crops. As the labels are updated the information will be transferred to the product descriptions on our website and directory. Currently Life Extension already offers several premium quality non-GMO soy isoflavone extract products."

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

I called them to see what their source of the vitamin MK-4 is and they said they could not divulge that, as it was proprietary info. I then asked if they would certify that it was not a genetically modified substance and they said "no we cannot say either way". I think it rather strange that if it is not GMO, they would not want to say so.

I called Nature's Way, who is the company that provides this multivitamin, and I was told that the source of Vitamin E that is in Nature's Way Alive Multivitamin is derived from soy, so my next question was to ask her if the soy it was derived from was a GMO (Genetically Modified Organism), because most soy in the USA, unless it is organic and NON GMO Verified, is Genetically Modified. She told me that they try to the best of their ability, to make sure that none of their supplements contain GMO's, but that she cannot guarantee it. I hope this answers your question. By the way, in case you did not know, GMO's are EXTREMELY BAD! Avoid them at all costs!!!!

i would like more assurance there is no GMO's in this product before i buy. it's not advertised- so someone who buys them saying there aren't is not enough confirmation for me. further- papaya is a fruit that is often GMO, so further investigation is necessary
