We're sorry for any disappointment. Products often contain genetically modified/bioengineered ingredients in the U.S., not because companies seek to use genetically modified/bioengineered ingredients, but because genetically modified/bioengineered crops are so common in the U.S. food supply. Bioengineered seeds have been approved by global food safety agencies and widely used by farmers in food crops for almost 20 years. Today, if an American food or beverage product lists corn, soy, canola, cottonseed or beet sugar as an ingredient and the product is not organic, it likely contains genetically modified/bioengineered ingredients. We do offer consumers a non-GMO choice with organic brands in most of our major U.S. product lines. Safety is our number one priority. We find broad global consensus among food and safety regulatory bodies that approved genetically modified/bioengineered ingredients are safe. The U.N. World Health Organization (WHO), The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), The European Food Safety Authority, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, The U.S. Department of Agriculture, The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Health Canada have all found approved bioengineered crops to be as safe and acceptable as their conventional counterparts. The National Academy of Sciences, the American Medical Association and the British Royal Society also say there is no health risk associated with genetically modified/bioengineered foods or ingredients. We appreciate the feedback and will pass this on to our team.
