 Spring Valley, NY, March 28, 2013 - Natural Food Certifiers (NFC) has added
a new component to its growing roster of product supervision and
certification programs: the NFC (GMO Guard) Verification Program.

 

"We are very proud to introduce and offer the GMO Guard Program," said NFC
Director Rabbi Reuven Flamer. "It's a logical extension of the programs that
NFC already offers, and one that is so timely and sought-after in the
natural and organic food market today."

 

"GMOs are the number one growing concern among health-conscious consumers
and for businesses in the natural and organic food markets, as well as in
the conventional food industry," explained Rabbi Flamer. "Recent studies
show that GMOs may cause various kinds of health problems from digestive
disturbances to food allergies, and that GMOs require more herbicides, which
is really the opposite reason why GMOs were touted to be so environmentally
helpful in the first place," he added. "For all of the many reasons that
GMOs raise a red flag, physical and environmental, consumers simply don't
want them in their foods, and our clients want to accommodate their
customers."

 

In order to assess a new product for GMO Guard verification, NFC performs an
intake -- commitment and cost free -- to analyze the product and will then
advise clients of the next steps and costs to obtaining a seal. The process
may include, but is not limited to, a request and review of the ingredient
deck including country of origin and certificate of analysis, as well as
inspection of manufacturing facilities.

 

Leading natural and organic products retailers such as Whole Foods Market
are seeing growing demand for products that don't use genetically engineered
ingredients. Products that have a non-GMO assurance seal are seeing sales
increases of 15 percent to 30 percent, according to Whole Foods Market
President A.C. Gallo.
