Labeling for products that meet the USDA-NOP standards (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

I really feel sickened and devastated! We have all probably had GMO exposure without realizing it. 


Now it has been determined that Kashi's supposedly "All Natural" cereals are not so natural after all! Kashi is a brand that is owned by Kellogg Company. Consumers have a right to feel betrayed and upset by this revelation!


Most consumers do not realize that the definition of "natural" in food labeling is not as tight as we all believe.  Consumers that absolutely want to avaoid GMOs should consider purchasing products that are labeled "Organic" and hope that the producer or manufacturer is honest!

Story at-a-glance

• A note on a Rhode Island grocer’s shelf has gone viral, informing consumers everywhere that the popular “natural” cereal brand Kashi actually contains genetically engineered grains
• As a result of consumer outrage, the Kashi brand, which is owned by Kellogg Company, has now pledged to use at least 70 percent certified organic ingredients by 2015—a move that may be too little, too late for many health conscious consumers. The pledge came just days after initially trying to further mislead consumers by denying the test results, which had found Kashi GoLean cereal contained 100 percent genetically engineered soy
• Currently, the ONLY label that can protect you against genetically engineered ingredients, synthetic pesticides, and other harmful additives is the USDA 100% Organic label
