Foods often contain genetically modified/bioengineered (BE) ingredients in the U.S. Many of our products do as well.Bioengineered seeds have been approved by global food safety agencies and widely used by farmers for almost 20 years. If a food or beverage product lists corn, soy, canola, cottonseed or beet sugar as an ingredient and the product is not organic, it likely contains BE ingredients. In the U.S., the U.S. Department of Agriculture has created rules for how food packages should be labeled so that you know if they contain BE foods or ingredients. At General Mills, we use the allowed text under the rule. As a result, some of our food produced in the U.S. will now have a statement on pack like “Contains a bioengineered food ingredient” based on the product formula.If you are looking to avoid BE ingredients, you can check out our many brands that offer organic and non-GMO foods including Annie’s, Cascadian Farm, Liberté, Lärabar, and Muir Glen.

General Mills top priority is food safety and has been for over 150 years. Most crops grown in fields use some form of pesticides and trace amounts are found in the majority of food we all eat. Experts at the FDA and EPA determine the safe levels for food products. These are very strict rules that we follow as do farmers who grow crops. We continue to work closely with farmers, our suppliers and conservation organizations to minimize the use of pesticides on the ingredients we use in our foods. If you are looking for an organic alternative, we recommend our Organic product Annie’s, Cascadian Farm, Liberté, Lärabar, and Muir Glen. Glyphosate is not approved for use in organic food production, as the standards of the National Organic program do not allow for the use of synthetic pesticides
