Straus Organic Creamery (USA) takes bold step to prevent GMO contamination
Straus Family Creamery, the first certified organic dairy and creamery west of the Mississippi River, will be the first certified organic manufacturer in the United States to verify that all of Straus’ products are not contaminated by previously undetected genetically modified organisms (GMO). “Certified organic crops are at risk of contamination by genetically modified crops,” said Albert Straus, President of Straus Family Creamery. “We have rejected organic feeds for our animals because of GMO contamination. We need better controls over our feeds and ingredients, so we have established this relationship with The Non-GMO Project to ensure that all of our products are verified as non-GMO.”
