GMO Guard - NFC

The NFC GMO Guard verification program is a certification system designed to ensure that food products throughout the entire supply chain, from farm to table, are free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The program aims to provide clear and transparent information to consumers and the public regarding the absence of GMOs in certified products. The certification process involves three key components: verification, transparency, and ongoing management. Verification involves assessing the ingredients, sourcing practices, and production methods used in the food production process to confirm that GMOs are not present. This may include documentation review, audits, and potentially testing to validate compliance with the "no-GMO" requirements. Transparency is a crucial aspect of the GMO Guard program, where clear information is provided to consumers and stakeholders. This transparency is achieved through labeling or the use of the GMO Guard seal on product packaging, indicating that the product has undergone verification and is certified as "no-GMO." Ongoing management ensures that the certified products maintain their "no-GMO" status throughout the supply chain. This involves continuous monitoring, control, and periodic audits or inspections to ensure that processes and practices remain in compliance with the program's requirements. The NFC GMO Guard program emphasizes the importance of understanding the program's requirements and encourages businesses to seek clarification when needed. They offer support and guidance through their offices, indicating a commitment to assisting businesses in successfully navigating the certification process. The NFC GMO Guard verification program provides a clear and accessible pathway for businesses to achieve certification and demonstrate their commitment to GMO transparency and compliance.
