Non-GMO Verified<br />

All <strong>Coconut</strong> <strong>Bliss</strong> products are verified free<br />

of GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) by<br />

the Non-GMO Project. As an organically<br />

certified product our ingredients cannot come<br />

from GMO sources, but by being Non-GMO<br />

Project Verified we support the efforts of the<br />

Non-GMO Project to raise awareness of the<br />

hidden truth about GMOs in our food supply.<br />

In 2014, GMO crops in the U.S. made up 93<br />

percent of all corn planted and 94 percent of<br />

soybean acreage. Although GMO crops have not<br />

been proven safe for human or animal<br />

consumption, they show up in vast amounts of<br />

processed foods, from corn syrup (regular, high<br />

fructose, and solids) to soy in baby formula; all of<br />

this unlabeled and with the majority of<br />

consumers unaware.<br />

100%<br />

of our<br />

products are<br />

Non-GMO<br />

PROJECT<br />

VERIFIED!<br />

The Non-GMO Project’s Product Verification<br />

Program is the first and only system in the United<br />

States designed to test if a conventional product<br />

has met defined standards for the presence of<br />

GMOs. These rigorous standards provide<br />

third-party verification that the best practices of<br />

GMO avoidance are in use, and include strict and<br />

comprehensive traceability, segregation and<br />

testing requirements.<br />

Look for the USDA Organic seal or the<br />

Non-GMO Project Verified logo to avoid GMO’s<br />

in your family’s diet. We will continue to work<br />

towards a future where we have informed choices<br />

about the foods that sustain us, and the special<br />

treats that make us smile.<br />
