Silly question...

Wife2DJ

If something says organic, then does that mean that is non-gmo? Sorry I'm just a bit confused. Thanks!

I wouldn't assume.  Non-genetically modified organism doesn't mean that they couldn't have used non-organic growing methods.

While it's true that you can buy non-GMO products that were grown conventionally, in order to receive organic certification, GMOs cannot be used.  This is one reason  GMO contamination (ie. the new GMO alfalfa) is a problem.

Hello! 

If it's certified organic, meaning it has the USDA Organic seal, then it is not GMO.  You're fine.  Even products that say "made with organic ingredients" are not GMO. For example, "made with organic ingredients" means 70% of the product must be organic, but 100% are non-GMO.  I carry a non-GMO guide in my purse, e-mail me at elaine dot dubin at gmail dot com if you'd like one.

It can also be certified by one of several other agencies, such as CCOF, OCIA or Oregon Tilth.
