Non-GMO

Non-GMO claim on a cereal product  

A “Non-GMO” claim on a cereal product means that the product has been made without genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Here are some strategies for developing cereal products with a non-GMO claim:

  1. Use non-GMO ingredients: Using non-GMO ingredients such as whole grains, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit can ensure the final product is non-GMO. It’s crucial to source these ingredients from reputable suppliers who can provide documentation verifying their non-GMO status.
  2. Choose organic ingredients: Organic ingredients can help ensure the cereal product is non-GMO, as GMOs are not allowed in organic farming. Additionally, organic farming practices are typically more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
  3. Use non-GMO sweeteners: Using non-GMO sweeteners such as maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar can add sweetness to cereal products without GMOs. Choosing organic versions of these sweeteners is essential to ensure they are non-GMO.
  4. Verify with third-party certification: Getting third-party certification from organizations such as the non-GMO Project can assure consumers that the product is non-GMO. This certification involves testing and verification of every ingredient used in the product.

When developing cereal products with a non-GMO claim, it’s essential to be transparent about sourcing and testing ingredients to assure consumers that the product is genuinely non-GMO. Additionally, be mindful of other health and nutrition claims relevant to the product, such as organic, gluten-free, or high-fibre claims.
