GMO-FREE refers to vegetables that are not genetically modified, meaning their genetic material has not been altered in a laboratory setting.
They are grown from seeds that come from traditional breeding methods (like cross-pollination and selection) without direct genetic engineering in a lab.
What "GMO-Free" Implies
Absence of genetic engineering: The product was made without using genetically engineered ingredients.
Traditional breeding: GMO-free products emphasize traditional breeding and natural selection methods for growing crops.
Verification: To ensure compliance with GMO-free standards, products can be verified by organizations like The Non-GMO Project, which use strict testing and traceability processes.
