WHAT STEPS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO VERIFY THAT TRISCUIT INGREDIENTS MEET SUCH STANDARDS?

WHAT ARE GMOs? A GMO is a genetically modified organism. GMOs are plants or microorganisms that have had their genetic material artificially generated or engineered through the use of modern biotechnology. Common uses for such genetic engineering are enhancing the nutrition of foods derived from a plant, giving a plant herbicide/virus resistance, and improving a plant’s protections against insects.

ARE GMOS SAFE? According to a report by the National Academy of Sciences, a group established by the U.S. Congress to provide expert scientifically-based advice, currently marketed foods derived from GMOs have proven to be safe to eat.

DO TRISCUIT PRODUCTS CONTAIN INGREDIENTS DERIVED FROM GMOS? The wheat in Triscuit crackers has always been produced without modern biotechnology, and no genetically engineered wheat is currently available for commercial use. As part of our promise to always work to meet customer preferences, we’ve made a commitment to use only oil and seasonings that meet “The Standard for the Non-GMO Project Verification program” in all Triscuit varieties.

WHAT STEPS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO VERIFY THAT TRISCUIT INGREDIENTS MEET SUCH STANDARDS? We understand that it’s important to our customers to know where their food is coming from and how it’s made. That’s why we’ve brought in the Non-GMO Project, a non-profit organization that provides third-party verification for products made according to best practices for GMO avoidance. We’re working together to make sure that our products meet the standards to be Non-GMO Project Verified.
