GMO Practices
Manufacturer Communication
Dean's staff notified manufacturers in March 2013 that they would not accept any new products that were not certified organic or Non GMO Project Verified. Store staff contact suppliers if they identify any suspect ingredients.
Product Removal Process
The store is purging food products likely to contain GMO ingredients from their shelves as alternatives are found. Finding GMO-free health and body care products is proving to be a challenge.
Labeling
Virtually all products except those being phased out are labeled as either organic or Non-GMO. Dean's Natural Foods Market is a Non-GMO Project Participating Retailer.
