GMO Practices

Manufacturer Communication

For the past three to four years, new products have been vetted for suspect products. Foods that are likely to contain GMOs because they contain corn, sugar beets, soy - crops that are predominantly GMO - must be certified organic.

Product Removal Process

The store does carry some likely-to-contain GMO foods, but the owners are weeding them out over time, which Sue acknowledged is a difficult and time-consuming process.

Labeling

The Co-Op is a Non-GMO Project Participating Retailer.

    Keep up the good work, I shop and love your place, when I am passing through the area. Always have a cooler when I am in the area. I live in Warner NH so not too far away.
