Non-GMO Project Verification
Achieve Non-GMO Project Verification with NSF. Demonstrate your commitment to non-GMO sourcing and transparency and enable eligible products to display one of North America's most recognized non-GMO claims.
What is Non-GMO Project Verification?
Non-GMO Project Verification is an independent verification process that evaluates products against the Non-GMO Project Verification Standard.
Products that meet the requirements of the standard may be labeled as Non-GMO Project Verified. Based on the potential for contamination within the supply chain, the standard does not verify that a product is completely free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Instead, it verifies that appropriate measures have been implemented to minimize GMO risk.
