In March of 2013, we announced we would label all products in our US and Canadian stores to indicate whether they contain Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). Since GMOs are so prevalent in the major food crops in our country — they’re a majority of US corn, soy, canola, cottonseed and sugar beets crops — this process will be challenging. But we are working hard and have committed to having labeling for all products by 2018. Many will be labeled ahead of this timeline, and we will be keeping you informed about the process as we go. Whole Foods Market is the first national grocery chain to set a deadline for full GMO transparency. We’ve been collaborating with many of our suppliers for several years to source products without GMO ingredients. In 2009, we began putting our 365 Everyday Value™ line through Non-GMO Project™ verification and encouraged our grocery suppliers to do the same. We currently sell over 6,000 products represented by more than 500 brands that are sourced non-GMO, more than any other retailer in North America. We are expanding our efforts, working with suppliers in all categories as they transition to ingredients from non-GMO sources or clearly label products containing GMOs by the 2018 deadline. https://youtube/watch?v=zvhMeRM2Mfg
