When it comes to food, I want to provide my family healthy foods without artificial ingredients and tons of sugar. Up until recently, I rarely bought prepackaged snacks for my family. Traditional snacks are loaded with sugar and according to the Grocery Manufacturers Association, as much as 80% of those packaged snacks contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs). In the US, labeling of GMOs aren’t required on product packaging. So until they are, the only way to avoid GMOs and other ingredients you’re not sure about is to buy certified organic or Non-GMO Project Verified foods and snacks.
