are these seeds gmo or are pesticides, fungicides,etc used on them?

I don't know about the seeds themselves, and the plants never sprouted. I used a little mixture of jiffy seed starter along with fresh black dirt from my yard and they never sprouted.

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.

Good heavens no! They are organic sprouting seeds. Why would one want to contaminate them with a disinfecting solution?

I don't know but I'd say unless they say organic in the name probably not. I did get some organic heirloom tomato seeds from seeds and things but not all their stuff is organic. After I had already bought the seeds I found this: http://www.treehugger.com/lawn-garden/10-best-seed-companies-selected-by-readers.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MrBrownThumbTreeHugger+%28MrBrownThumb+TreeHugger%29 which was cool, they have both pdf catalogs and free hard copies (if you don't mind waiting for them to mail). How this helps :)

From what I have read in various sources, there are not yet any genetically modified varieties of white corn so it could be assumed that these are non-gmo. I cannot however say for sure, since this is only based on what I have read.

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."

I am believing the distributor. I do not think that they are Genetically Modified as I to want to stay with Organic foods.

Yes and yes! That is why I purchased them. I wanted to start a Non-GMO garden and be able to sell the plants and seeds myself. Almost all the seeds I have planted in my small greenhouse have germinated.

The packaging doesn't indicate either of these terms (not that I could see, anyway). A search through the website's (RobsRedMill.com) FAQ section does say that their seeds are all NON-GMO, however they also add: "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." All of their products are kosher. As for being organic, the reply is: "Bob's Red Mill does offer a wide selection of organic products certified by Quality Assurance International (QAI). Make sure the product is clearly labeled organic, as some items are available both organic and conventional." This chia seed item is not marked Organic.

From http://www.bobsredmill.com/faqs.html: "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."

That's strange. My packet of seeds is exactly as depicted, including the information "No GMOs." I'd request an explanation or replacement packet, to be sure.

No. According to the following page they are non-GMO soybeans grown in the U.S.: http://www.morinu.com/products/tofutips_faq.aspx

Sorry, I have no idea. Nothing said organic on any of the packaging, or where they came from. It's a little creepy to use them and know nothing as they arrive in a big bag with a garbage tie like thing within a box. They appear very "industrial", but I have been using them and they seem just like all the rest. I am concerned if they are food grade or something else. One more thing I can say, is that 25 pounds is a huge amount of chia seeds. I think if I had it to do over, I would pay more for something I knew much more about.

They are organic & non GMO. We're already on our 3rd generation of some seeds. They give and give. Just collect wisely.

I'm not sure.. My understanding is that they use non-GMO seed, but can't guarantee that other seed particles may not contaminate their crop from wind transference, etc. However, since it's so vague, I feel wary about the quality and have decided not to purchase it again. I would absolutely change my mind if they could label it as "organic and GMO free."
