Non-GMO shopping
We know many PCC members and shoppers are passionate about avoiding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food. It’s why PCC Natural Markets has developed partnerships and programs to help us shop with confidence.
We’re partnering with the Non-GMO Project, the first independent, third-party certifier to establish Best Practices and testing throughout the supply chain to ensure non-GMO claims. There isn’t a grocery story in the country that can claim to be GMO-free but the project helps us move in that direction.
PCC buyers are instituting an additional level of scrutiny to our already stringent product standards. They're giving priority to new items enrolled in the Non-GMO Project.
We are asking all manufacturers making a non-GMO claim to verify that claim with the Non-GMO Project and to label products accordingly.
We will continue to advocate for the consumer's right to an informed choice, through mandatory labels on GMO ingredients. We are committed to educating consumers and communicating with manufacturers about the economic, social and environmental impacts of GMOs.
