What does GMO mean?

GMO stands for genetically modified organism. GMO produce can be found commonly in the US. However, processed foods such as cereals, crackers, and more can also be made from genetically modified organisms, and do not need to be labeled as such in the US. Foods that are GMO do not need to go through any special testing in the US, so it may be smart to avoid them when possible. Choosing organic foods can help to minimize consumption of GMO.
