Today we have more food options than ever before. In a society that has so many foods, comes so many food trends. Keto, Paleo, Low-fat, gluten-free, the list is endless. One new approach to food is shopping non-GMO or GMO free food.
GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism, is a plant, animal, or microorganism that is genetically modified in a laboratory. GMOs are a fairly new concept, as for centuries food has been produced in fields the organic and natural way. With this food being artificially made, comes some environment and health concerns. Studies on rats have shown those fed GMO food had reproductive and liver issues. Other countries, such as those in Europe, have already ban GMO foods because of their health risks.
Switching to non-GMO or GMO-free food is a food trend that is healthier for you and can be fairly easy to swap in for GMO foods you love, like mac and cheese.
Here are some of our most popular non-GMO products.
