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.
