Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) appear in many everyday foods and products. Monsanto, a leading provider of GMO seeds, supplies crops used by numerous brands.
Greenpeace has documented brands potentially using GMO ingredients derived from Monsanto seeds. While labeling varies by region and formulations change, this list—based on their research—helps informed consumers identify common products found on supermarket shelves.
Brands often don't disclose GMO sourcing, making avoidance challenging. By referencing this guide, you can make conscious choices for your shopping cart. Note: Always verify current ingredient labels, as products evolve.
