What’s the Non-GMO Mark?

Claiming to be non-GMO, meaning the organisms in the food are not genetically modified, is a little trickier. The reality is that GMOs travel. Pollen drifts on wind and by the movement of wildlife.
Genetically modified organisms, once released into the environment, cannot be recalled.
That is why the Non-GMO Project standard outlines explicit requirements for GMO avoidance, including ongoing testing of all major ingredients considered high-risk for being GMO. Evaluating each product, rather than the system that produced it, addresses contamination and fraud, including how to correct an issue. When you see the Non-GMO Project butterfly certification mark, you can be assured the food you are eating is truly non-GMO.

What is Organic? 

Organic is the description for products which were not processed and yielded through chemical-free fertilizers and pesticides. Though farming has been organic since its earliest practice, the movement for organic agriculture started in the 1940s as a reaction to industrialized farming. Specifically, Lord Northbourne coined the term “organic farming” in 1939 when he wrote the book, “Look to the Land”. 
Organic food is preferred due to its advocated health benefits as it is free from artificial ingredients and unnatural procedures. However, such produce is more expensive due to its higher maintenance cost and less harvests. Moreover, some researches are implying that consuming organic products does not significantly improve health.
