Technical Administrators Make the Butterfly Strong

Technical Administrators (TAs) are third-party, independent certifiers responsible for ensuring your product is in compliance with the Non-GMO Project Standard.

How we work together

The Non-GMO Project creates the Standard for what it means to be Verified. Independent, third-party technical administrators evaluate products to ensure they are in compliance with the Standard. Third-party evaluation is the most trusted certification because it ensures products have been evaluated without bias.

Ultimately, you have the power to choose the Technical Administrator that best suits your needs.

Annual renewals

Your TA will review your verified product on an annual basis. If you would like to add new products to your verified portfolio the renewal process is a great time to do so!
