Introduction & Overview
What is a GMO?
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are made by forcing genes from one species, such
as bacteria, viruses, animals, or humans, into the DNA of a food crop or animal in order to
introduce a new trait.
Are you vegan, lactose intolerant or have allergies to dairy? You’re probably already fa-
miliar with dairy alternatives, such as soy milk, almond milk, rice milk, and other substitute
products. Since so many alternative dairy products are made from soybeans, be aware
that they may contain GM materials. The following brands have one or more products that
have been verified by the Non-GMO Project:

Baby Foods & Infant Formula
Milk or soy protein is the basis of most infant formulas. The secret ingredients in
these products are often soy, or milk from cows injected with rbGH. Many brands also
add GMO-derived corn syrup, corn syrup solids, or soy lecithin. The following brands
have one or more products that have been verified by the Non-GMO Project:
Beverages
Most juices are made from non-GMO fruit (avoid papaya though, as it could be the Hawaiian
GMO variety), but the prevalence of corn-based sweeteners — e.g. high-fructose corn
syrup (HFCS)—in fruit juices is cause for concern. Many sodas are primarily comprised of
water and corn syrup. Look for 100 percent juice blends. Some brands are now moving
away from HFCS to sugar, but unless it is pure cane sugar, it will include sugar from GM
sugar beets. The sweetener aspartame is derived from GM microorganisms. It is also
referred to as NutraSweet and Equal and is found in over 6,000 products, including diet
drinks and diet sodas. The following brands have one or more products that have been
verified by the Non-GMO Project:
• 365 • BluePrint • Clearly Kombucha
• Back to Nature • Cadia • Cocozia
• Bhakti Chai • Café Altura • Cuties Juice
• Blue Diamond • Califia Farms • Dream

Many sweeteners, and products like candy and chocolate that contain them, can come from
GMO sources. Look for organic and non-GMO sweeteners, candy and chocolate products
made with 100% cane sugar (to avoid the GM beet sugar), evaporated cane juice or organic
sugar. And watch out for soy lecithin in chocolates and corn syrup in candies.
Unless labeled explicitly, corn, soybean, cottonseed, and canola oils produced in North
America almost certainly contain genetically modified products. Choose pure olive, coconut,
sesame, sunflower, safflower, almond, grapeseed, and peanut oils. Also choose preserves,
jams, and jellies with cane sugar, not unspecified “sugar” (which will likely contain GM beet
sugar) or corn syrup. The following brands have one or more products that have been
verified by the Non-GMO Project:

Some US dairy farms inject the genetically engineered hormone rbGH, also called rbST, into
their cows to boost milk production. There are now many dairy products with labels that
indicate they do not use rbGH or rbST. Their cows may still be fed GM feed. Organic dairy
products are, however, all rbGH-free and do not use GM grains as feed. To view a list of
brands that do not use rbGH but are not yet enrolled in the Non-GMO Project, please visit
nongmoshoppingguide.com/rbgh. The following brands have one or more products that
have been verified by the Non-GMO Project:
