Shopping List for Non-GMO FoodsThe Final Word

" Let's go eat some genetically modified food for lunch. " - President Bush, in

private remarks at the White House to visiting European leaders, as relayed by

White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer.

 

As a service to Weston A. Price Foundation members, we are providing information

on foods to watch that contain Genetically Modified (GM) ingredients. This

information was compiled over a three-year period by Mothers for Natural Law,

http://mailhost.groundspring.org/cgi-bin/t.pl?id=24885:650917.

 

The information provided below is not complete. It is intended as a starting

place for shoppers. If you don’t see some of your favorite products on this

list, please contact the manufacturers and ask them if the product contains GM

ingredients.

 

There are about 40 varieties of genetically engineered crop approved for

marketing in the U.S. As a result, 60-70% of the foods on your grocery shelves

contain genetically engineered components.

 

If you really want to avoid the influence of genetic engineering, buy fresh

organic produce. If you want to buy processed foods and avoid genetically

engineered ingredients, you will have to read product labels. If the label

mentions any of the ingredients listed below without explicitly qualifying it as

organic, then the product probably contains genetically engineered ingredients.

Primary GMO Suspects: Ingredients and Products to Check

Soybeans: Soy flour, soy oil, lecithin, soy protein isolates and

concentrates. Products that may contain genetically engineered soy derivatives:

vitamin E, tofu dogs, cereals, veggie burgers and sausages, tamari, soy sauce,

chips, ice cream, frozen yogurt, infant formula, sauces, protein powder,

margarine, soy cheeses, crackers, breads, cookies, chocolates, candies, fried

foods, shampoo, bubble bath, cosmetics, enriched flours and pastas.

Corn: Corn flour, corn starch, corn oil, corn sweeteners, syrups. Products

that may contain genetically engineered corn derivatives: vitamin C, tofu dogs,

chips, candies, ice cream, infant formula, salad dressings, tomato sauces,

breads, cookies, cereals, baking powder, alcohol, vanilla, margarine, soy sauce,

tamari, soda, fried foods, powdered sugar, enriched flours and pastas.

Canola: Oil. Products that may contain genetically engineered canola

derivatives: chips, salad dressings, cookies, margarine, soaps, detergents, soy

cheeses, fried foods.

Cotton: Oil, fabric. Products that may contain genetically engineered cotton

or its derivatives: clothes, linens, chips, peanut butter, crackers, cookies.

Potatoes: Right now the only potato that has been genetically engineered is

the Burbank Russet, but you still have to look out for potato starch and flour.

Products that may contain genetically engineered potatoes or derivatives:

unspecified processed or restaurant potato products (fries, mashed, baked,

mixes, etc.), chips, Passover products, vegetable pies, soups. Fast-food chains

appear to have responded to consumer concerns and requested genetically natural

potatoes.

Dairy Products: Milk, cheese, butter, buttermilk, sour cream, yogurt, whey.

You have to ask several questions when you are looking at dairy products. Have

the cows been treated with rBGH? What kind of feed have they been given? If they

are not being fed organic grains, chances are quite likely that they will be

eating genetically engineered animal feed. What does this do to their milk

products? No one knows.

Animal Products: Because animal feed often contains genetically engineered

organisms, all animal products, or by-products may be affected.

Papaya

 

Please note that a food may contain some of these items and yet be free from

genetically engineered organisms. There is no way of knowing without tracking

down every brand, every product and every ingredient. Even reading labels is no

guarantee that you will be able to avoid genetically engineered ingredients,

because manufacturers are not required to list every ingredient, enzyme or

organism used in the manufacturing process. The following products may also be

genetically altered, contain or originate from genetically engineered organisms:

candies, cookies, breads, cereals, corn syrups, oils, juices, detergents, dough

conditioners, yeast, sugar, animal feed, vitamins and enzymes used in the

processing of cheese.

Natural Products that DO NOT Contain GMOs

(according to the producer)

Dairy Products:

 

The following dairies state that all of their products are made with 100%

organic ingredients. Their animals are not treated with rBGH or other hormones

and are only fed organically grown feed. There are no bioengineered dairy

cultures or enzymes in their products. If, however, a product lists “natural

flavors” on the label, that product might contain a genetically engineered

ingredient.
