The Non-GMO Project Standard is a consensus-based document that has been crafted with the insight and expertise of dozens of individuals, reflecting a dynamic range of perspectives. Beginning with a 60-day public comment period in October and November of 2007, ongoing public comment periods have been established as an important mechanism for keeping the Standard current and collaborative.

Public comments are accepted every fall from October 10th through November 10th and every spring from March 10th through April 10th. To submit a comment, please click here.

We are currently in process with version 5 of the Standard, which reflects comments received during the fall 2009 public comment period, and the Non-GMO Project Standard Committee’s corresponding proposed changes. A second round of comment, on the proposed changes only, is open now through February 15th 2010. Please click here to review a draft of the Standard with comments and proposed changes tracked.
