As public concern about the labelling of genetically modified (also known as genetically engineered/GE or genetically modified organisms/GMO) food products continues to grow, the market for non-GMO products is surging. As a result, high-profile companies like Campbell Soup Company, General Mills, Del Monte and PepsiCo have all recently announced non-GMO labelling initiatives. According to Packaged Facts–a leading publisher of market research in the food and beverage sector–forecasts a near doubling of the global market for non-GMO foods and beverages by 2019. With independent annual audits to ensure compliance, Certified Non-GMO by AGW provides farmers and food producers with a robust, trusted and highly competitive non-GMO label claim.
“With the ever-growing consumer demand for non-GMO products, pursuing the Certified Non-GMO by AGW status for our pork products was the next logical step, and will help keep us at the forefront of the market. The certification process is rigorous, but achievable and affordable, and it shows our customers that we’re going above and beyond to offer a quality product that is what it says it is: truly sustainable.”
— Jeremiah Jones of the North Carolina Natural Hog Growers Association and GrassRoots Pork Co., Certified Non-GMO by AGW farmer (U.S.)
