GMO Practices
Manufacturer Communication
Living Earth's board member Frank Phelan is the store's GMO expert. He identifies and eventually removes all GMO products from the store.
Product Removal Process
Along with regularly removing suspect products from store shelves, Frank has persuaded several companies to substitute suspect ingredients for GMO-free and organic ingredients. Getting manufacturers to remove soy lecithin and canola oil has been the biggest challenge.
Labeling
Living Earth does not label GMO or non-GMO foods.

Hi. Do you have any plans on opening a store or two on Cape Cod? Maybe you will put this on your ‘to do’ list. Thanks.
Sincerely, Faith Gagne
