What’s the difference between Organic & Non-GMO?

For a product to be Certified Organic, 95 percent of its total ingredients must be organic. This means that no more than five percent of its ingredients can be non-organic, however, these non-organic ingredients still must be GMO-free.

Certified “Made with” Organic products must contain at least 70 percent certified organic ingredients. Similar to certified Organic products, any non-organic ingredients must be GMO-free.
