Non-GMO Alternatives

Understanding non-GMO alternatives

With 76 percent of consumers globally claiming to read ingredient labels, it is critical that food and beverage manufacturers offer clean label products that consumers can trust.

Consumer trends are continuing to drive movements such as organic, clean label, “free from” and non-GMO formulations, as interests in the type and source of ingredients used in popular food and beverage products continues to shift.

Among clean label claims in new products, Non-GMO claims have seen the largest increase, up 13% between 2014 and 2018 [Mintel GNPD 2014-2018].
