Our readers write to us almost every day to ask wh Our readers write to us almost every day to ask why they saw canola in a Non-GMO Project Verified product. There’s a fairly pervasive misconception that all canola is genetically modified, but this is not true! Non-GMO canola does exist; when you see canola in a product bearing the Butterfly, you can rest assured that it’s non-GMO canola because we test major high-risk crops that go into your food.

Over the last two months, we’ve detailed how our Verification Program works, introducing the incredible Technical Administrators that help make it all happen. Our third-party verification is what makes the Butterfly seal the most reliable label for GMO avoidance. But how does this verification process relate to the food system as a whole? At the Non-GMO Project, we believe in working with nature, not against it, making an ally of the natural world, and in doing so, remember that humanity is part of it. Reimagining how we grow our food is one of the most impactful ways to make that shift.A system that prioritizes short-term profit over long-term health is a dead end, and it is too late in the day for us to continue along that path. Together, we can move toward a food supply that nourishes people and the planet, restores soil health and biodiversity, revitalizes rural economies and provides the kind of stability and prosperity farmers need to succeed. #BeTheButterfly ...
