Sweet Green Fields achieves Non-GMO Project Verification for Stevia ingredients
Sweet Green Fields (SGF), one of the largest, privately held, fully integrated global stevia ingredient companies, has achieved Non-GMO Project verification for 28 of its stevia ingredients, making it the largest producer of Non-GMO Project Verified stevia ingredients. The Non-GMO Project is one of the most trusted third-party verifications for non-GMO food and products in North America.
Greener Choices, the Food Safety and Sustainability Center at Consumer Reports, categorizes the Non-GMO Project Verified seal as “a highly meaningful label for consumers wishing to avoid GMO-derived ingredients in the foods they buy.” Since 2010, the Product Verification Program has grown steadily, now representing more than 43,000 products and more than $19.2 billion in sales. SGF’s verified products are in compliance with the organization’s rigorous standards, which include ongoing testing of GMO risk ingredients, facility inspections and annual audits to ensure every input in the supply chain meets the highest quality standards for non-GMO products.
