For an animal derivative(such a milk powder) to be approved for use in a Non-GMO Project Verified product, the participant needs to document that the animal feed is non-GMO. Documentation must confirm either NGP Verified or only grass-fed and less than .5% alfalfa.

Since it comes from "pastured" cows it should be there. You might contact the farm and ensure they feed NO grain and the butter used if ONLY from grass fed animals.

No, there is no alfalfa. Sometimes there a few brown strands, not everything is perfectly green. If your pet doesn't like it, you might be able to send it back.

kerry gold is not 100% grassfed... according to their site they are 90% grass fed...10% grain fed and 3% of their grain is GMO (they think, it could be more)...check the internet...anchor butter is 100% grassfed...they say their cows eat the grass year round...kalona butter from kalona iowa is supposed to be 100% organic and grass fed...plus it's closer to home

No, this comes from cows who are also fed grain. Here's from the company's website: http://www.bernardjensen.com/7-oz-GELATIN-POWDER--100-BOVINE_p_49.html. Following the cycle of the seasons, a ruminant will pick up grain as it finishes in the fields and pastures nearing fall. Its not something that bothers me but some people do require a grain free diet.

There is vegetable cellulose listed but very little. They are gluten free and vegetarian. Because of the ingredients (primarily enzymatic in nature) organic and non-gmo doesn't appear to be a huge concern. I have to have them so it really doesn't matter to me. I focus on that aspect-with regards to the foods that I eat, instead of this product. Sorry I couldn't help. I would suggest emailing the company. I email companies all the time. They will more than likely reply.

It is organic, so it is non-gmo, but it may be hybrid. I don't think it's the ancient grain.

Judging from other Bragg products - these people are extremely health conscious and I am sure would not ever use any GMO products. it's a shame, isn't it, that 67 countries have laws requiring the labeling of GMOs but ours is not among them. I've gotten awfully careful about not eating tofu in a Chinese restaurant nor corn of any kind . 91% of all corn and the same amount of soybeans grown in this country are GMOs. Sorry. I'm sure that was more of an answer than you wanted.

Looking again at their website they seem to have grass fed which is labeled grass fed and some that is not so I would make sure it is labeled grass fed...

Hi! On the package they said "USDA Organic" and that means that the product supposed to be GMO free. Also, the grain itself is rare, not that extensively used like soy beans for example. Usually they would modify (GMO) something more commonly used. I haven't even heard about modified Amaranth!

I always thought Hema was animal-based, but I had trouble confirming this online. What I did find were plenty of links to Amazon for a Vegetarian Formula of Hema-Plex. Try searching those terms and see if you go to a different product page, if it's important?

After googling this, it appears the answer is no. Package does not state cows are grass fed either.

Unless a product is labelled "Organic" or "GMO free verified" it is likely to contain genetically modified ingredients. Just because it is grain free does not make it automatically GMO free because all the animals are almost certainly being fed with food containing GMO ingredients, notably soy and corn. I wrote to this company asking both about use of GMOs and also hormones and antibiotics in the food chains, and they answered that they could not guarantee that any of these were not present in their dogfood.

From what I can see, they do not bare the USDA's organic label. They are Food Alliance certified. To be certified, they must farm using sustainable ag practices. Some certified farms are organic; some are not. Pardina's grain and legumes are non GMO. That coupled with the Food Alliance certifications makes it close enough in my book. Here's the link to the Food Alliance: foodalliance.org That said, there are farms and businesses that are passing on the USDA organic label because it doesn't mean what we would like it to mean. While I haven't read the organic regulations of late, at one time, they were allowing GMO foods to be labeled organic.

This actually is NOT 100% grass-fed. Their website states: Pasture Raised with Love! In a way cows are like kids - the more time outside the better. Our farmers send their cows out into lush, organic pastures for fresh air, exercise and grazing (weather permitting of course). Our Pasture-Raised animals receive the majority of their nutrition from organically managed pastures and stored dried grasses/forages. To ensure they get the complete nutrition they need, our cows may also be fed supplemental organic grains, both during the grazing season and into winter months. Supplemental organic grains can include any of the following: corn, soy, oats, barley, triticale and other small grains. Animals also receive necessary mineral supplements that sometimes include non-iodized salt.

this was the e-mail reply I received from Purity Farms when I inquired about their feeds and if they were gluten-free or not."All animals receive 100% organic feed. All cows get a mixture of organic forages and organic grains in their diet. Forages are grass, hay, silage, baylage and other "green feeds". Hay is simply dried plant material like grass and alfalfa. Silage and baylage are fermented or "wet" plant material. Grains include corn, barley, soybeans, oats, field peas and flax. The amounts may vary depending on the individual farmers management techniques.The Purity Farms Ghee is gluten free." this was the e-mail reply I received from Purity Farms when I inquired about their feeds and if they were gluten-free or not."All animals receive 100% organic feed.
