Take Your Organic Certification to the Next Level: Add Non-GMO Verification Did you know that USDA National Organic Program (Agricultural Marketing Service) and Non-GMO Project Verified are two of the most trusted clean food labels at the grocery store? While both exclude GMOs, they offer unique benefits that complement each other: ✅ USDA Organic: A holistic certification covering soil health, pest management, and animal care.  ✅ Non-GMO Project Verified: Focuses solely on GMO avoidance, backed by rigorous testing and monitoring. Together, they create the gold standard in food labeling—combining sustainable farming practices with GMO avoidance. Plus, research shows products with both labels are more appealing to consumers. If you’re already USDA Organic certified, adding Non-GMO verification strengthens your brand’s transparency and credibility, while providing extra protection against GMO contamination. 💡 Expand your claims and meet growing consumer demand—ask us about bundling Non-GMO verification with your organic certification today!
