ATWATER, CA.: Joseph Gallo Farms, makers of Joseph Farms Cheese, is pleased to announce that their family of organic cheeses has earned verification by the Non-GMO Project. This verification confirms that Joseph Farms organic cheeses are produced in compliance with rigorous standards for GMO avoidance.
“GMO” stands for Genetically Modified Organism, and refers to plants, animals or other organisms whose genetic material has been changed in ways that do not occur naturally. The “non-GMO” claim means that the food is made without ingredients that were derived from genetically engineered organisms. For meat, poultry, dairy and eggs, the “non-GMO” claim means animals were not fed a diet containing genetically engineered crops.
The Non-GMO Project's Verification Program is North America's most trusted third-party program for verifying a product's ingredients. Its seal gives shoppers the assurance that a product has completed comprehensive third-party verification for compliance with the Non-GMO Project Standard.
“Joseph Farms believes in our customers’ right to know what is in their food. The Non-GMO Project Verified seal is the gold standard and is the most trusted label among consumers, and we are proud to be able to offer this transparency to our customers.” [Mike Gallo, CEO]
