FAQ
Non-GMO Project Verified is one of the fastest growing labels in the natural products industry, representing over $45 billion in annual sales and more than 66,000 verified products. Among consumers today, the Non-GMO Project Verified seal is the most trusted sign that a product comes from best practices for GMO avoidance. It is also one of the most recognized food certification and claims programs in the marketplace.
Timelines depend on product risk, supply chain complexity and how quickly documentation is submitted. Low GMO-risk products may take about a month or less, while higher-risk products can take longer.
No. The standard is designed around testing risk ingredients at the most efficient point in the production chain, not testing every finished product. Our experienced team will provide guidance on specific testing needs. If testing is required, FoodChain ID has specialized experience with GMO testing.
In some cases, yes. Eligible inspections can be stacked with programs such as USDA Organic certification and Vegan or Plant-Based certification to reduce disruption and total effort.
Yes. SupplyTrak stores product and ingredient information so you can add products at any time during the program without starting fresh.
Non-GMO Project Verification is a program that confirms products meet the Non-GMO Project Standard for GMO avoidance. It evaluates ingredients, supply chains and production processes to verify compliance and ensure products can be labeled as Non-GMO Project Verified. The program is part of a broader category of product and label certification services designed to validate product attributes and claims.
Being Non-GMO Project Verified means a product has been independently assessed and meets strict requirements for avoiding genetically modified organisms. It signals that the product follows best practices for GMO risk management and can carry the Non-GMO Project Verified seal. This can be particularly valuable for brands selling products in markets such as the United States, where consumer demand for transparency continues to grow.
