Amy's Kitchen, Inc. does not purchase any GMO containing ingredients. All suppliers are asked to provide a guarantee in writing that ingredients are neither derived from nor manufactured using genetically modified organisms. Where appropriate Amy’s may engage in additional testing.

Why Amy’s cares about labeling GMOs
Genetically modified products were introduced roughly ten years and were put on the market without any long term trials or tests. We do not know the affects they will have on us, or our children. Because of the lack of adequate testing, there is a campaign to get GMO-containing foods to be labeled.

Currently there is no law that requires labeling of GMO ingredients.

Many countries have banned GMO products but our grocery store aisles are filled with these “frankenfoods.” The the most commonly genetically modified foods are: soybeans, cotton oil, canola oil and especially, corn. As of 2007, 91% of the US’s soybeans were genetically modified. It has reached the point that unless the box says “No GMOs” or “organic”; you should assume that it contains GMOs.

Because GMO foods are hidden in the labels, it is especially important to buy from companys that do not use GMOs.
